This stuff is good....
If you want a small size just call them they are pretty good at customer service, they can usually get you what you want.

Aluminum Body Kit Mesh A Diamond by custom Grilles

Or you can just go to a Home Depot type center and purchase some there but it won't be as firm as the above against high velocity debris hitting it.

Unless you're looking for colored mesh, McMaster-Carr is the place.

is it just lighting or your hood and grille have slightly different color than the rest of the car? and personally i like the natural chrome color nuts for oem wheels. for mesh i prefer black, as it is more subtle that way... that's just me though..

i wouldnt recommend painting lug nuts. the paint is going to start chipping off within the first couple times you torque them down.

^^ That is very true, i didn't think of that. Well i'm going to keep them the way they are. But next year i'm going to get a new pair of tires and wheels. Hope to have her finished up by the end of next year with all the mods i want to get.
