Hey guys,

Can anyone help me out?

I'm going to get my front repainted soon, and I'm currently rocking cheap wire mesh grill for the lower grill openings & where the fogs should be. Anybody know if the Mtech or the M5 plastic mesh grill will fit the Lumma style bumper?

Thanks,

I believe you should be able to get some custom mesh and cut out a piece rather easily. I'd recommend putting some kind of a bezel around the edge and custom-fitting the whole install.

The way Racemesh does it, for example, is fitting a round edge and then covering it with a rubber padding, so as not to cause any scratches during installation.

Provided there's a store where you can pick up the mesh locally, you should be able to get this done within a matter of 2-3 hours, plus paint/powdercoating of the mesh.
