Thanks for the complements
The mesh was $1.29 a piece at Lowes which comes in a 3feet by 5 inch piece, right now its not coated in anything cuz im not sure what to coat it with, what i did was take some cardboard and just keep trimming it until it fits flush inside the grille.. then rubber band the cardboard cutout to the mesh, mark it with marker then cut out. then tie it on with zip ties or something. The most time consuming part would be the cutting out the cardboard pieces..

One of my factory fogs cracked, so i got these because they work nicely at night and I like the HID/Yellow fog look.
