Does anyone know where I could pick up some mesh like this in socal? Maybe home depot?

i got mine from a trailer parts place. they had tons of different types of raw metal product. i imagine you could probably find something similar at home depot though..probably just not as big of a selection

thanks for the support on that one guys. I actually have some really really sharp 19" ADR M-Classics that I think are gorgeous wheels on this car...they need to be refinished though. I don't know where locally to get that done yet, but as soon as I find a place....and find a way to get them from here to there (can't haul them in my car) I will get that in progress.

i picked up a package of cable tie brackets from home depot....the ones with a flat base and a slot through which you can put a zip tie. These brackets come with double-sided tape adhered to them, but i don't trust the tape under a car given the temperature ramps and all of the drit and crap. I used some adhesive remover to take the tape off, and adhered the brackets to the inside of the bumper with epoxy. You can see that the mesh was shaped such that it fits around the opening on the inside the bumper. There are about a dozen of those brackets epoxied to the bumper. I used zip yies to secure the mesh. Viola! Very secure and 100% removable
