Where to buy front bumper grills?

Ok this might be a simple and easy question for people that have brought them before. Today i went to home depot and i asked and they didn't know what i was talking about and they couldn't find me any. I know they sell them at pacific mall but they are so expensive for a role. Does anyone know where to get the grills for cheap? I'm sure people know what i'm talking about here. So a quick reply would help. They cut them in pieces or in rolls? How much roughly? Where can i buy it and what do they call it? People say chicken grill or any other name? Thanx for the help.

i got some black plastic mesh for my grill. Tego gave me what he had left over, and he said he bought it from home depot I believe. I'm not too sure about the price.

I used to see coloured grill mesh at Canadian Tire for $20 for a sheet, but I was there today and didnt see any so I don't know if they still carry it. Its worth a try if you are looking for colours or designs, but gutter guard is cheaper (you might have to paint it though). Like BBProductions said, they have gutter guard at Home Depot.

What is gutter guard? Is that like some kind of material or is that what they call it? So they have gutter guard in home depot? Which section do i look for in home depot? I've been asking them and ppl telling me to go to plumbing, then appliances, then hardware. So yeah.

Gutter guard is stuff that looks like grill mesh, well basically it is grill mesh. Its at Home Depot because you can put it over your eavestroughing to stop leaves and crap getting in and clogging up your downspouts. Do a google image search if you still don't know what it looks like.
I'm not sure which section its in, I guess where ever the eavestroughing is. Just make sure that you dont buy the stuff that looks the same but is for drywall because I hear that stuff looks similar but is super sharp and hard to work with.

the gutter guard i got isn't cheap, has rounded enges, and if you get the plastic one it looks the same as the ones they sell

Sorry to go a bit off topic but does anyone have any suggestions on how I can secure the lower grill mesh on my ek, if I end up doing it? I heard the best way is urethane but that's too involved for me. My friend used screws on his eg hatch but it looks like a real hack-job. I also heard someone suggest tieing it on with fishing line but to me that seems like someone could just steal it with an exacto knife in a couple seconds. Anyone have any input on how to do it?

I've seen some people that use like nails and then bend the nails to secure the grills, I've seen someone put silicone and screws, I've seen people use fiberglass to make it hard, but that stuff is messy and i don't suggest u use that. The ones above is a pretty good idea too.

i did lower and upper DIY style but just so you know 99-00 are not DIY, u have to cut all the plastic molding in the bumper u know that black plastic. and same for the top. cus plastic and fram around it is all one peace. well in both cases you have to cut the plastic form the fram around it.

and i could not find any gutter guard at home depot, i just got a little roll of grill from the shop where i buy my stuff from and guy gave it to me for free.
