I NEED a upper and lower fine mesh grille for my silver 00 sport. I mean, I really need one. But the only ones I can find are that chicken fence mesh ( no ofence to my bros with chicken fence mesh) Im looking for some sweet fine mesh. I need some pics, and where i can get them. Maybe someone has one they wldnt mind parting with?

thanks quick! I looked on ebay this morning, dont know how I missed it. How does it fasten after you have it cut to the right shape? I really like the way it looks on yours.

I wonder how this mesh would look like on the lower grill on a black 2000 with the chrome lse grill?

I just used scissors to cut it and fastened it over the plastic grill with clear tie-wraps.

when I had a lower grill - I used black tie-wrap to attach it from behind...

here a thread on options -> http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=22346

thanx for the thread, quick! Those are some sharp looking grilles! makes me wish i had a black ls. Oh well, I hope the fine mesh looks ok with the silver ls. What do you currently have on?

I have also thought about the mesh grille. I love Lou's and Ken's. I had thought about getting it dipped in chrome, but after talking with Ken, didn't think that it would be such a good idea, unless you spot welded each and every cross over portion, in fear of them shifting and viberating around chipping off the coating. But then again, who knows. I really didn't inspect any mesh to see if there was much flex in between there.
