Default Expanded aluminum

I am wanting to add some expaned aluminum(or plastic or metal or whatever) behind my grill like my real Jeep Jk has.

Where can I find some scale stuff for this?

Thanks

Look in the kitchen utensils at where you shop.Look for the flat strainers or the bacon splatter sheilds.I saw one today at Freds.

I got some at the Dollar store in the art and crafts section...roughly a 2ft x 1.5ft piece for a dollar.

Try looking int the crafts section in a Micheals or other arty department..maybe wal-mart?

here's what the package looks like

Also next time you replace the air filter in your car see if it has some on it, but be careful its razor sharp

Probably a little late, but the Goodwill or Salvation Army always has old tape players and stereo's....I just cut the speaker covers off and use that.

Edit: I'll try and get a picture tomorrow or the the next day of it on my new JK for you.

I was at(of all places) Bed Bath and Beyond with the wife and found something that was like a silverware drawer holder and it looked perfect, so I picked that up.

Here it is installed
