Nice. Now you have to keep the engine spotless. Looks good

I like it! Did you paint it black or did it come that way from Home Despot?

This is the stuff a bunch of us got from Ove in Norway... Dunno what the HD stuff looks like.

I usually do keep my engine looking good...

Your solution looks familiar....

No, no, no. It's way different, but you have to look closely. Metal lath and screening are two different things altogether.

You can find the aluminum mesh on this website: www.biltema.no ( Norway ) or www.biltema.se (Sweeden ) Search for (søk) "grillnetting".

I do not know if they can ship to the US.

I emailed Wayne a few days ago re: that Biltema website thinking he might strike a deal to import and sell it thru Pelican. Maybe he will in time if there is enough interest shown. Due mostly to shipping mine ended up costing about $42 per sheet...those on the East coast were considerably less.

I'm still kinda surprised we could not find this, or even close, in the US. Lots of folks looked.

I think I found it at

I love the precision of the Porsche owner. Other car forum I have been a member of when my persuasion has been in other vehicles would have owners literally putting GUTTER MESH into their grill openings and then wondering why it started rusting in about a month. Of course you would want stainless or aluminum and not clear coating over raw steel.
