Allroad grill matches the RS4 mesh. You'll need to trim it out w/ a Dremel tool.

Default To match the mesh on the RS4 grill, you'll want 3/4" flattened expanded metal.....

If you go to Lowe's or Home Depot you should find it near the threaded rod, tread plate and aluminum extrusions. I have a Kamei grill, and 1/2" flattened expanded metal is a better match for that. I used appliance black spray paint on it, and it's held up pretty well. I believe that the mesh I got was from Lowes. In the picture where the 1/2" is checked off, you want the 3/4". The openings are bigger in the 3/4" mesh.
BTW, it's not oil on the ground in that pic =)
