I did my Viggen's grill in expanded chromed aluminum that I purchased at Canadian Tire. I'm up in Canada so that will be of little help. I too wanted to use the real woven mesh in stainless. I found a local metal supply shop who would order me a sheet of the stuff, but that's a 4' x 8' sheet at well over $300. Guess I could split it up and sell ready cut grills...
I found that with the aluminum, I did not have to remove the black plastic grill webs. I just unsnapped the chrome grill section from the black secction, made a thin card template, cut the aluminum, placed it between the two grill sections and snapped it all back together.
Despite the aluminum being chromed, I'm not sure how weell it will last. I know the bare aluminum gutter stuff doesn't survive our winter salt.
As for airflow restriction, I haven't noticed any change.
If you do find the mesh please let us know where....thanks,
Robert
