So I love the Racemesh product, but with the overall look of my ride, the chrome (electroplated) Racemesh just didn't flow for me. I spoke with Michael at Racemesh, and he told me to send it back and he'd swap me for a black one. This is one of those mods that won't be noticeable from a distance. It'll just look stock.... black. But up close, if you know what you're looking for, you'll be able to see.

I love it. Here are some pics..... now I'm going to pull the jeep around to the back of the building and put them on :)

It definitely doesn't look very different unless you're up close. But you know me.... I'm doing it because it's not stoick :)

How much did it cost to not look very different from stock? :cool:

I do agree though, the black looks better on silver whether its stock or not very different. ;)

Looks nice. Post pics of the install.

I understand what you mean by looking up close. The stock mesh looks cheezy IMO close up.

Yeah... I really don't like the stock plastic chain link at all.
I got this replacement one in about 10 days from when I mailed the other one back.

It only takes about 30 min to install everything(grill and lower grills).It takes about 4 weeks to get to me after I ordered it!

Rick... you're very into the cost of things I see :)

$700 shipped. I believe the prices may have either come down a bit, or possibly will in the future.

Well we obviously have different opinions on the cost of things. I would have never spent $700 on that mod. I work hard for my money and like to get my moneys worth when I buy something. :cool:

:eek: Needs to come down about $650 :eek:

If you like it and think you got your moneys worth thats all that matters. ;)

Found a closeup of the PC Black RaceMesh from the RM online store. Looks much better than the stock plastic simulated mesh - IMHO.

Who cares what it cost him, if he has the coin and likes the product, then why bash him or the product? :confused:
