Trunk deck lid lace mesh trim
« on: March 02, 2024, 09:23:08 AM »
Anyone know if versions of this product sold by our usual vendors are basically the same.  Or rather does one vendor carry a preferred version ?

The repro mesh kits are different then factory the size of the mesh opening is typically smaller .with that said it is hard to tell unless side by side .The MOST important thing is to get a complete set so as to have the best chance of all the mesh matching up. You also need to check that it is the same once you get it just incase the vendor mixed parts up from a different batch . This same thing is imperative when buying NOS mesh trim too. The assemblyline mesh is typically different in size then the later service pieces. A mis matched set stands out IMO. You count the little windows of the mesh opening from top to bottom .
