I have a manual 24 g80. One of the first things I did was replace the grill with a vorsteiner grill.
I wanted mesh behind it for protection but also I liked the look more than it just being so open. Vorsteiner sells a mesh you can add on but I didn’t like the pattern. I got some automotive mesh I liked off Amazon and cut it to fit myself and epoxied it in. Worked really well. You could do something similar (I also replaced the intakes) |

https://a.co/d/idoWcrv Thanks. I think it turned out really well. I got a few different versions of the mesh. Initially wanted it to have a finer mesh but I worried it may restrict air flow so went with the larger rhombus pattern |

I think it looks great. Hard to tell from the pics --- how did you secure it? Zip ties?

https://a.co/d/g3LeWH2 I cut and shaped the mesh so it hung over the edges about 2 cm. Secured the mesh tightly at the bottom with duct tape wrapped around. Globbed epoxy into mesh and let it run down between the mesh and the plastic/ carbon grill and intakes. Allowed it to cure and removed tape. |

I did the same thing, though I secured mine with black 3M double sided tape. Works great and I wanted something that would be easier than epoxy or glue to remove if I changed my mind down the road.
