OK i just got my blitz bumper..And the mesh that is in there is black.. I want a nice chrome mesh to go in there. I dont want to use the gutter gaurd either cuz it loses its "shine" after a little bit. I have a black car with chrome rims so i really want something nice and thick..that isnt cheap and thin. Something that is below like 50 bucks..i have been told the apc mesh that u can get at like autozone but i have yet to go check it out..

WHat are your guys suggestions

If you want that nice ricey look get some chrome spraypaint and spray one thick coat in one direction.

or find some mesh you like in any color and get it chrome plated. real is better.

I don't think chrome plating mesh is a good idea, you flex it when mounting and I imagine it would crack, but come to think of it paint would probably do the same.

Yup. And it only flexes if you're not careful with it. a friend of mine had his mesh chromed for his eclipse about 5 years ago, it looked real good for 3+ years. it still looks decent, but there are small cracks in it now. but none of the plating has flaked away.

hmmmm maby i can get my friend to chrome powdercoat some mesh..i went to advanced today and they have a pretty nice lookin mesh for sale..it is made by apc...BUT 30 BUCKS for like a sheet..i couldnt believe it...it was pretty thick tho and not flimsy and i really liked that and it was pretty "chromy" i will probably end up using it.

i painted the regular home depot 7 bucks for like 8ft by like 3ft cut it to the length painted it bent it a whole shit load didnt crack once only reason i did it is for the ac compressor the rocks were beating the piss outta it so now i can have rocks hit the shield instead of it hitting my 300 dollar compressor
