www.summitracing.com sells the mesh grill material. As for the install, I'm not really sure. Have you done a search? I would think someone has done a how to in one of the forums.

The Mesh usually costs about 25-30 bucks. If you go to Ikea they are selling meshed garbage cans for about 6-8 bucks the mesh has a better quality than the ones you get from Home Depot. If you want to save some cash you can do that too.

Plus the mesh have smaller gaps that makes them stronger, they also look nice.

I used Home Depot gutter mesh on mine, I just painted it silver, since the galvinized steel doesn't look nice for too long.

I'm not sure, but when you finally get it done post some pictures. I'm probably gonna end up getting the same thing from Summit. How much did it cost?
