I went with a Racemesh grill in gloss black, turned out really nice. The PO had cut the original up to install his laser jamming radar detector so it needed something.

Are you guys using zip ties to hold the mesh grill in place ?

I have the Racemesh grill and use zip ties.

Mine came with the black zip ties, but that didn't look good. I found some scrap thin steel wire that I cut into 6 in pieces, folded in half and used like twisty ties.

I got this stuff, its actually Just Guttar guard you have have a piece for like 5$ its the same thing they send for side vents and charge you 30$. The Black V shaped supports have an open back (see picture)
You need to get under the car, the top has a lip you can fold the mesh over to hold it, at first i used 2 sided tape to try and hold the bottom up against the Black V supports, i also had a LED light strip helping sandwich it in. Changed the LED and my bottom popped out so i added some screws from the back twoards forward.
You need to find just the right size thickness/length screw but it works well and totally hidden, no zip ties!

Had one on my 2011 GS convertible. Was ordered from Mid America if I recall correctly. I thought it looked great. Very easy install. It used some small black zip ties that were barely noticeable to secure it in place.

Anyone used the aluminum mesh grill from Top Flight Automotive?
