your local hardware/home improvement store.

Its called expanded metal. I got some for my truck that is much finer than that (ie, it doesnt LOOK like expanded metal) for about $1.76 at Home Depot. the stuff I got was actually for covering gutters to prevent leaves and sticks from clogging them, so look for "gutter gaurds" if you want the small stuff. I always get people who ask me how much i paid for my grille.

As mentioned, hardware stores. Also "import" car shops may have it already cut to the car you want it for. I take it you need it to protect an intercooler?

its more for looks. i saw one on an explorer last week and i thought it looked really nice looking. ill have to ask someone at Home Depot because i was there a few weeks ago i only saw the really small mesh (interwoven) stuff. thanks!

Also try looking at specialist car shops, (the kind that sell customising parts). I know Rolls Royce will sell you their stuff, for a couple of hundred, does look really nice though.
