There is no replacement mesh as the grilles were redesigned.

Part numbers for the grilles:
51-13-7-122-505
51-13-7-122-506

Free if you're still under warranty ... $8.86 each otherwise.

i was just thinking about, and wondering if anyone has replaced it with silver screen or grill material, like they do with the hood scoop. it could be painted black if it looked bad and it wouldn't ever waste away like this plastic stuff. i don't mind leaving it open either.
