jchin3081 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Another inexpensive DIY completed. After doing the DIY vents (another thread), I already knew the radiator guard would be the next on the list. Looked up other members custom radiator guards and worked with mine accordingly. Went to my local Home Depot and got a pre-cut enclosed(not sure if this is the correct term) 14in x 8in mesh(should have took a picture before I started), spray paint, and... well... that's it. Used a wire cutter to cut the ends that would attach to the radiator side covers. Bent the mesh and test fitted, sanded, and then painted. Total cost was about $12. I doubt this will stop huge rocks, etc, but visually, I think it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timjh Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 It will stop stuff as well as the commercial products do, looks like less air obstruction than many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jeckler Posted June 6, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 6, 2016 I want to do this, but not having much luck finding the mesh material you used. Do you still have the receipt and can post the SKU? It looks great, BTW. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyfife Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Looks good. I've seen the mesh at home depot and wondered if it would work. Like the diy cause I'm cheap(broke). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchin3081 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Sorry guys. I haven't been back to Home Depot since to get a pic of the part number I used and when I looked online, I couldn't find it. As soon As I go back, I'll get all the details.
