Quality grill mesh material

I'm having a hard time finding a good quality OEM style grill mesh. I think the hardware store mesh grate looks cheap and repeated inquiries on search engines have led nowhere. I don't really care for the grillcraft stuff either. OEM grills look so much heavier, better quality. The stuff most people use, in my opinion, detracts from the overall appearance of the vehicle. Sure I can see putting it on a Honda Civic , but an RX? I'd like to find some nice honeycomb grill mesh or a weave (similar to the kind found on luxury european cars, Bentley, Rolls, Aston Martin, etc.) Any ideas? I thought to go as far as to call the automobile makers and inquire how to buy some directly from the manufacturers.

However I wouldn't go with chrome, I'd paint it flat black, aluminum, or titanium

Honeycomb style

Try www.mcmaster.com. In the search box on the left just type in "mesh" and it should give you some good stuff.

I prefer the type of grills that they sell for trucks, the ones that seem like they are intercoolers, I really do not like the look of the little fence grills.

It is awful "expensive" chicken wire.

Keeps the really expensive chickens from escaping. Bentleys are powered by poultry, you know.

I bought mine at Ebay.de for something like €10 each meter
It is a high quality aluminium mesh in black, not painted thou, but anodized.
