and im not sure im ready to spend over 200$ on mesh. Did any of you guys find anything close? Im going to call joe@axis tomorrow.. I heard he can get sheets of mesh which may be cheaper. I checked avalon = 86$ for the rs4 centre.. i would need 3
purems is 58$ for the rs4 centre... i would need 3..
In justdaves tech article..he seems to be using an expanded metal mesh. Im going to try and find this.. any ideas where i might find it online?

Default horribly enough .. that seems to be "logical"... it just seems so expensive

If you want expensive, try upgrading your turbos/etc.. I just went with the Canadian lower grills.
