Where Did My FTP Go?

Well yesterday afternoon I cleaned my car up, then this morning I went to go over to Rotorfest, and our starting point was our high school. So I get to the school only to notice my passenger side FTP is missing! So at Rotorfest I just decided to take the other one out to not look uberghetto since other guys had both taken out as well. I want to fill it back up, but dont feel like buying new FTPs, anyone have any good mesh suggestions that dont look too crappy? I was thinking something painted black or really dark, nothign to stand out though. Pics would be good.

Just get one from a junkyard, either pay the whopping $3...or jack it! I used a super glue to put it back in.

Most of my black interior pieces need replacing/repainting, so nothing as far as that goes. In fact, I don't really have much to trade except stock intake box and a stock headunit. How much to just buy one from you?

I lost mine in a thunderstorm on i90 trying to drive in the rain with azenis tires. I don't know if I hit a really good bump, or what did it. All I know is the next gas station (10 miles), and it was missing, with no trace!
