That grill mesh that P5online sold me sucked ***. I haven't put it on and don't know if I will. THe pieces were supposed to be cut to fit but they are cut all wrong. In order for me to install it I have to snip a lot here and there and put it on. But up close I can just tell its going to look like crap. From far away it looked cool. It doesn't replace what you have it just sits on top of it. The little diamonds don't line up with the black ones on the car. In fact they are smaller. So if can picture silver mesh sitting on top black one and its obviously 2 different sizes. Im thinking that I may just paint the black and never use the silver. But if you do get it make sure you buy some blue, paint safe, masking tape. The mesh scratches the car easily.

Hi guyz!!

I'm actually working on a mesh grill kit for 99-00 MP / 01-02 MP (LX, ES, ESGT ) / MP5 and MP3.

Instead of taking regular mesh grill, which i used to call chicken grill I'm making one with Stainless Steel. And instead of diamonds, it's small squares! very small squares! It looks awsome!!!!! I'm finishing the MP5 this week, i'll post pics of this!

Sorry for my bad english, i'm doing my very best!

Those squares get to small I would bet the bugs & crap would be hard to get out of it.

They are just the right size

Not too big, not too small!!!

ok guys, I have one,
at first I thought it would suck to look at too but now that it is on it looks damn good, especially with silver it eccentuates the car awsome, very easy to install

just take both grills off, took me 10 minutes
then place the grills on a little fitment problems but nothin a little clipping won't help- 20 mins tops
put back on

simple easy addon that looks cool

Clement are you working on replacements or just mesh covers. Show some pics when you're done.

The one i'm doing is a complete replacement grill.

On the MP5 that i'm doing, the guy wants to keep his mazda badge, but on mine, it's gonna be a full grill, no badges!!!
