Im planning to mesh the grille inserts and the air dam on the front bumper. Just wondering can anyone recommend a place that will do a good job on it?

Don't really want to do a DIY job.. mainly coz it'll probably look dodgy.. ;)

if you got the money then buy the ctr grille but if not just DIY. take your time then it wont come out dodgy. it took me half a day to do mine and it came out very good. check it out. http://www.ozhonda.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3266&postdays=0&postorder=asc&star t=0

its not that hard, just buy the mesh, cut out the original plastic stuff in the middle, bend the mesh around the frontbar and glue it up

i agree with eknine putting mesh in the bumper would be a bit too much.

I forgot to say that the 96-98 grille is much harder to do due to its one peice design....later model ek's have a two peice grille....so u can chuck the mesh in between...

On the topic of mesh, where can it be found besides that cheap looking stuff at Autobarn and Supercheap. I have heard Bunnings, but they sell fly wire! I only need a small piece thats about 1m by 0.2m so that rules out getting it from most metal makers as well.

Try different hardware stores.....you'll find some eventually...

Isn't the only mesh they specialise is the fly screen stuff? I want one more spread apart with bigger gaps.

Good hardware stores will have a variety of thick and thin meshes in different styles and colors.....

OK, I'll keep looking around.

In the meantime, if anyone already knows of any place, let us know.
