I am trying to get some mesh from the company pektel bought the Mclaren look-a-like sheets from. It's a weaved mesh like the CDC mesh and the one they have is very very similar in size to the CDC mesh. There is one that is slightly smaller and slightly larger then the real cdc mesh, I measured, and we are probably going with the one that is slightly smaller. The difference is very minimal. I am in for sure, Ls4me seems pretty interested as well. So far it's me and him that have been talking about it so I made this thread to get others on board. I called today and got some info, but the sales guy was not there today to get me all the details. I will call tomorrow again.
Here is the mesh I am talking about and we would get it in a diagonal cut like the cdc mesh.It looks to be actual size in the pictures, you can take a ruler and measure and it will be the same when you get it. CDC mesh is in between #3 and #4 and even those 2 are close so you can see there will be minor differences.

Pektel managed to get him and 3 others on board for his buy. The total came out to 65 shipped per person for pieces big enough for a top grille and bottom grille with extra for possibly one more set, or if you mess up as back up. I have to talk to the right guy to get the price of the sheet so prices will come later. The company cut them in 2 pieces and shipped to each person address from the company when pektel did it. Planning on doing the same.
I have been wanting to buy this sheet since I got my cdc grille. If not enough people jump in on this, I'll just buy it regardless and try to make grilles to sale, but it's better if you do your own.Anyone else on board? It will bring th price down and you'll have a mesh that looks better than that welded flat mesh from ebay.
Here are some pics for those who dont know what a cdc mesh looks like.
