Also, buy the best quality one you can find - the ebay versions are typically very poorly constructed & flimsy. try performanceproducts.com

Mesh material you can get anywhere depending on what style you want. Typical mesh can be bought at HomeDepot. IMO there's better looking mesh out there do a web search you can find the Bentley or Jag mesh material for your grill. The rest is ezy take out your stock grill insert cut your mesh to fit JBweld it in . Remove the hood tongue, now use an instrument cluster removal tool or fashion your own to slide through the mesh inlets to hook onto your hood latch and that's waht you use from now on as your hood opener. The mesh grill will only look good on W124s that already have the sporty look like Alberts.

You guys are joking right? 
All that is is cut up strips of chrome door molding. The same kind that you can get a whole roll at Pep Boys or Kragen for $5. IMO that looks hella cheap...
