Default Mesh For Venom Front Bar

Hey,
Ive got a venom kit for my EL, and the mesh in the front, looks like some bodged home job, its roughly cut, likes like angled and just looks stupid (No i didn't make it haha).
Wondering if theres anywhere you can buy a proper already made up one which fits perfectly and what not?

Hi mate the best way to do this job is to buy the materials yourself and shaping it to fit your front bar.

looked everywhere to find a mesh that fits when I installed mine. trust me - there is nothing. needs to be a custom job.

ended up getting a wire frame made up to size then attaching the mesh to that and curling the mesh around the edges to give it a smoother appearance (not jagged on the edges etc). worth the effort.

Yeah what i was thinking, was making a template out of cardboard, cutting that out of mesh, then getting like a bummer strip to run around the outside of the mesh
