Default GM or racemesh?
GM screens Vs racemesh - I see the difference, but does it make a difference?

The Racemesh does look like a higher quality product.

Whats the $ difference? Most of the aftermarket stuff is made of screening you can get the hardware store.

Racemesh looks a lot nicer and thicker but I don't think it makes a difference...

The link to the instructions are provided on the Packing Slip when you receive your RM. They provide very nice instructions.
