Default Z06 Screen Material??

Where are the DIY folks purchasing the stainless steel screen material to do side vents etc??? I am installing a Tigershark front fascia on my Z and would like to replace the black grill material with the Z06 type screen.

Thanks, Don

I know Eckler's sells the kits for the side vents, the front and rear brake ducts, and the front air intake, but i don't know where you would buy just that stainless steel mesh.

So is it 5x5 .041 or 6x6 .047?
There is not a 5x5 .047 listed.

Call Chuck at X418 Eckler's. He cut a ton off the advertised book prices. First time buyer there myself with no issues. Chuck has been there 15 years so he tells me.

I went and measured my factory screen material so the proper size material can be posted.
It's 5x5 .041
For reference, the part number for a 12x24 sheet of 304 stainless from McMaster-Carr is 85385T918.
