im trying to find the metal that has small holes in it that some of the foreign cars use for grills. or something similar. I am trying to make a screen for the back of my cowl induction hood. I made one out of regular stretched metal , but that gave it to much of the bar-b-que grill look

Check out my gallery to see the screen I made for my cowl induction hood. Basically two pieces of metal with double ended threaded spacers to keep them apart. The piece nearest the engine bay has two slots in it, the outer one stops the rain getting in. The center support has a hole drilled through it and lines up with a hole in the hood, this is the only fastener.It´s a bit of a chore making the metal fit the cowl shape, you get through a load of cardboard.From the drivers view it looks like it´s blanked off, especially as it is now painted black.
