I borrowed this pic from a post by 10 Gauge, but I've been all over the net looking for punched
or etched out brass or aluminum sheet with this pattern that's shown in the grill stickers.

Both the LHS as well as the art supply used to carry all the etched metal from K&S, but now they only carry solid sheet stock.
Someone PLEASE tell me you know where I can get some.
 
I've been there. They don't sell small sheets, making their prices about $300 for the hole size I need.
I used to get it in sheets of about 1 1/2" X 6".

It's gotta be small. Scaled about the same as those stickers.
I just spent another 2 hours searching the net, but it seems K&s has limited their patterns, and any others are too large.
 
Yup Raiden...looks like it and I have some too. Has about 1mm holes. How big of a piece do you need Ralph? Also the metal paperwork inbox I had looked like what you needed too. If I still had it...damn. But a bit of speaker mesh I got.
 
I gave up looking for a sheet of it and decided to head out later today and buy some speaker covers.
Thanks for all the help.
 
Well, there it is. 5 stores, 2 hours and almost a quarter tank of gas. Not even Radio shack carried any. Same at an auto stereo store.
Found this at Lowe's for 14.97.
11" and 10" of flat perforated metal. Perfect.

This is what I needed it for, my 2 on road bodies. This one and the intakes on the Lamborghini.

You really need to enlarge them to see the grill work.
