Thumbs up for the DIY NWS4Guy, i was working on this and what i realized is that i don't have the home direct link cable so i can clamp the mesh to...anybody with suggestions? I don't think zip ties would work coz it might melt with all that heat no ?

Not sure on what to use, but I thought all cars had Homelink?

Yes, the clip is on the engine radiator, I needed to get under that cable so I removed the clip. The cable for the homelink just routes over the top of the screen, a snug fit is from bending the screen around the top and bottom of fitment, the clip nor cable is not required to secure the screening.

Looks great!! As soon as I take delivery I am doing this! Nice write up NWS! I think I am going to use a slightly tighter mesh than u though and just paint it black. So the bottom part is just bent 90 degrees and not secured? Huh? Just secured from the top of the Rad.. interesting.
