Vehicle Front Grille & Intake Mesh is used for filling front grilles and bumper intakes with expanded or woven metal mesh that protects radiators from stones while giving a sporty, open look. Automotive OEM is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What Automotive OEM Means for Vehicle Front Grille & Intake Mesh
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit Automotive OEM. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

Specifying Vehicle Front Grille & Intake Mesh Beyond the Standard
- Pattern: Diamond expanded mesh, hex honeycomb or woven — specify opening and strand.
- Open area: Keep 60–70 % so cooling airflow is not restricted.
- Finish: Powder coat or e-coat for road-salt resistance; chrome for show trims.
When Vehicle Front Grille & Intake Mesh Is Not the Right Choice
Not a bug screen; fine insect protection needs a separate finer mesh.
