Vinyl wrap the rear fender part BLACK OR spray fender well liner on it. It'll be super durable and black. That way it's darkened without having to modify the mesh.
Tj Hunt Hey bro I use gutter guards for my metal mesh it's a little thicker and has the diamond pattern it would look great on the brz keep up the dope vids bro
I’ve used the same stuff, it’s way better than what he is using for sure. It’s perfect for what he is trying to do also. I completely agree with using the gutter guards. They even come in black so he wouldn’t have to paint them.
Hey from an OG, get black vinyl and stick on locations you want hidden (skirt rear panel), paint the mesh black as well, that should hide from spectators viewable eye. Good luck with chasin dem dreams!
The mesh your were looking for is builders expanded mesh which is steel nailed to concrete so you can render over it. Its got that pattern you want and is used by many in body kits. From what I can see in your clip it's the same as the mesh on the hood vents. You can get it in aluminium and galvanised steel at builders supply yards.
The mesh you were looking for is where they keep the outside stuck-o supplies. The mesh is used on the outside of buildings to keep mortar stuck to a building.
Screen mesh from front doors are the perfect solution for your problem. The individual wires are thicker and more tightly woven. They basically make it less transparent and better for durability.
Screen door section has a lot of patterns and materials like brass, aluminium and galvanized. You can also find expanded metal or diamond wire in the stucco section next to the foam. -Stay Blessed
TJ, layer some window screen mesh behind the chicken wire. They sell them in different grades. You can potentially keep the chicken wire silver then contrast the color with the window mesh. It will help to make the silver chicken stand out. 👍 You could also pick up some mesh that is used for wall patches. More of a diamond pattern that you want.
TJ- use cooling fabric that you would use traditionally for an outdoor Lanai. It's tightly wound mesh for privacy but still allows airflow and slight visibility
TJ, I have done the same thing as you did on my kit. Except for some reason everyone does black or silver. I use primer and went with a bright safety cone orange as an accent color. I'm running a Cwest front bumper, voltex rep side skirts, and Vis carbon hood. All of the mesh is orange and is a good accent color for my setup. Food for thought on the idea. Or you could have got a role of screen mesh for a screen door. It's smaller and if painted the areas your trying to cover want be as noticeable.
Bro, they have a dry wall sandpaper that looks like a screen. It works really well keeping water and crap out, while still allowing air to flow through as well as masking the the imperfections behind.
Black vinyl the body so that its darker and then speaker mesh over that to completely hide the welds. Fix it to the car however you want. Another tip, you can pull the square mesh to look like a diamond shape. Diamond shapes are elongated squares after all.
Cobra exhaust vent 10-1/2 in. X 20 ft. Mesh Roll Ridge Vent in Black From home depot. It breathes so little to no added drag and the way it's woven it won't show anything behind. Mount that behind the mesh you already installed and boom. Hope your thanksgiving went well.
Tj its very simple using that mash. Just put multiple sheets overlaying eachother so it looks like the mash is finer. You can decide how much layers you want put the more layers the more cover you get. Like so tj sees this
Find body filler patch panels. They are mesh and small triangle shapes. Might be a lot easier to hide behind it. I believe you can find them at auto part stores or body shops.
babolatuser1 go rotate a square 90 degrees and tell me what shape you end up with. I was actually gonna comment, rotate square mesh 45 degrees to get diamonds. However to get the desired effect he is after, ala 1st Gen cts-v or c5 z06, he needs to buy 1/4 in woven wire mesh, and still rotate 45 degrees, then cut. That home depot stuff was not the correct move. I'm honestly most disappointed in Calvin for not figuring this out.
If you get gutter guards they are the more diamond shape you are looking for and hide it a little better!! Also Teej if you turn squares sideways they become diamonds. 💎
SUGGESTION! T. J. what you really wanted to get is leaf guard, it's mesh to keep leaves out of your gutter. It looks like legit car grill material. You don't see through like that chicken wire you bought.
Hey Teej, you can get permanent marker off by coloring over it repeatedly with dry erase marker. Dry erase marker is just marker and solvent, so it takes it off as you keep coloring (let it sit for 5 mins) you're welcome bud!
What you used is hardware cloth. Stick with that, you just need to find some that's a thicker gauge. Once you find something you like, I would install it at an angle. That way you get your diamond look. Also, maybe do every grill insert the same material so everything is uniform. Either way, do what you like. Just info and knowledge I have from working at a mom and pop hardware store. 🤙#newsitckeridea #KMF
You could always use the mesh that goes on screen doors or you could just paint the factory rear fender black. You could also try vents that look like the ones for your ac in the car. I think that lower opening would be awsome as an exhaust exit. Lol
Teej, you should use flyscreeen (like the type screen doors/windows are made of) to put behind the mesh. because the holes are so fine and it's already black I think it would do a good job
I don't know what you call them in Murica but you could try stretching some black tights/pantyhose over the mesh, It might look absolute s**t but worth a try 👍
Hey TJ, if you want check out fly or insect screen (you may be able to get it at Home Depo or something). A very tight mesh that'll hide it much better, plus it'll usually be black.
Try matte or satin black plastidip or vinyl wrap on the section of panel you want to cover up, covers the colour with no risk of shine and won't ruin any paint underneath the wrap making it virtually impossible to see and safe for your car :)
Yo teeg! Re-use the same wire and just double stack it and offset the second layer the decrease the size of the gaps between the wires. You could even triple stack it if you wanted. Just keep offsetting each layer and you will be golden pony boy 👍👍
Why don’t you get meshed glass that they use in windows and then tint them a lighter shade of black. Its the window glass that you would see in schools for example. That way, they’ll hide whatevers behind the kit but you can still see through them as of they were open. And finally, you’ll still have the mesh design that you like:)
Hey Tj try using gutter guard mesh it's has smaller openings that are diamond shaped also you can get some that is already gloss black from The Home Depot
Also double it up and offset them to where the lines are even except for in between the squares so that you get extra line and the squares become smaller so essentially doubling them up and offsetting them will close the gaps more and make the appearance of the cut wheel wells less noticeable
The mesh you are looking for is gutter guard they have the diamond pattern you need and they make it in black white and almond they have vinyl or metal kind it matches your mesh under the hood like a boss
use a window screen and paint it black. way smaller of holes in a window screen so you wont see through it nearly as easily if you stay 2-3 pieces and paint all black! love the brz teeg keep er goin'
You said the answer yourself TJ, window screen mesh. Go to a window and screen store and get a large piece of screen mesh and place it in the gap and paint it black.
You could go get some screen that is used for house windows / screen door material and put it behind your screen. Use the same mounting spots, should be pretty easy.
Have you seen a screen door? You should go back to Home Depot and buy the screen used in those. It’s much finer and comes pre painted. Ready steady... go!
You just need a mesh that has a smaller paten to it, similar to what was originally in the bonnet , the finer the design the less that will show from behind also painting behind the mess with a flat black and leaving the mess silver works well .Most car accessories shops will sell the diamond shaped mess in different sizes .
Just take some mat black wrap and cover up the "mess behind the mesh" itself. It'll still be there, but way harder to be seen and it's a cheap way - especially, if it's just a temporary solution.
Vinyl wrap the rear fender part BLACK OR spray fender well liner on it. It'll be super durable and black.
That way it's darkened without having to modify the mesh.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Black Plasti-Dip works as well as vinyl wrap just another sugestion for making it darker i agree with Danny though too!
I agree.. and possibly try and order diamond mesh
i was literally just going to comment the exact same thing :)
@tjhunt
Why don’t you put another layer of mesh, but this one diagonal to the first layer so it covers it up better
Tapan Panduranga 8:41
Tapan Panduranga you smart
Yeah that’s cool and all but, when are you going to widebody the matrix? :/
Exactly that would be cool
Chris723 lol right !
Tj Hunt
Hey bro I use gutter guards for my metal mesh it's a little thicker and has the diamond pattern it would look great on the brz keep up the dope vids bro
Yes exactly what I have used in the past
I’ve used the same stuff, it’s way better than what he is using for sure. It’s perfect for what he is trying to do also. I completely agree with using the gutter guards. They even come in black so he wouldn’t have to paint them.
LAMBO DOORS FOR THE MATRIX TJ, MAKE THE BROS HAPPY, MAKE SABRINA HAPPY
yncsh media YES
lmao she literally showed me a matrix with that yesterday
DO IT DOCTOR
yncsh media I'd make Sabrina happy. It'd be the best 30 seconds of her fine ass life.
Sorry TJ x
Peace out and keep movin foward! Did the outro for ya.😂🤦🏾♂️
Haha Sabrina got caught back firing😂😂
*THE PUBE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER IS PISSING ME OFF!!!*
Use window screen mesh, and wrap that back piece black.
DJ NeAu yes i agree
DJ NeAu it’s also darker
Damn that's what I said 😂
DJ NeAu read my mind
DJ NeAu same here but I don’t know about window screen
Hey from an OG, get black vinyl and stick on locations you want hidden (skirt rear panel), paint the mesh black as well, that should hide from spectators viewable eye. Good luck with chasin dem dreams!
Heat up the mesh and pull on the corners so that the square mesh becomes diamond mesh
leave the wire mesh the way it is and just wrap the part you can see through there black and that will make it less visable
Why don't you just insert some black vinyl inside there, it'll hide it better and you don't need that section to be purple anyway.
The mesh your were looking for is builders expanded mesh which is steel nailed to concrete so you can render over it. Its got that pattern you want and is used by many in body kits. From what I can see in your clip it's the same as the mesh on the hood vents. You can get it in aluminium and galvanised steel at builders supply yards.
Now 2 step then you can 2 step it with blackwidow
The mesh you were looking for is where they keep the outside stuck-o supplies. The mesh is used on the outside of buildings to keep mortar stuck to a building.
Micky guessing it was a bag of depends cracked me up. Totally would've done the same thing and my friends would've guessed it immediately
Too easy...... lol
Screen mesh from front doors are the perfect solution for your problem. The individual wires are thicker and more tightly woven. They basically make it less transparent and better for durability.
The DOCTOR is trying to fid JIM!!!
Screen door section has a lot of patterns and materials like brass, aluminium and galvanized.

Doctor, do a video at the old parking lot 🙏

Hahaha
You can buy the right kinda mesh you're looking for called expanded at any steel supplier.
Window screen mesh
TJ- use cooling fabric that you would use traditionally for an outdoor Lanai. It's tightly wound mesh for privacy but still allows airflow and slight visibility
Should TJ put a huge wing? That be dope
Jake Ward he would have to get a new trunk bc of the ducktail

Tj bag sabrina’s matrix #forthebros
Sabrina’s 2 steping just won!
Lolololololol WTF 12:38 you have yourself a fartknocker lololol
Bro, they have a dry wall sandpaper that looks like a screen. It works really well keeping water and crap out, while still allowing air to flow through as well as masking the the imperfections behind.
Gotta like before u hit play! ;)
Ye
nice ding above your driver side door panel. really gives it that “custom” feel
Well he cleaned the camera as you can see there is no longer a pube on the top right corner :)
Black vinyl the body so that its darker and then speaker mesh over that to completely hide the welds. Fix it to the car however you want. Another tip, you can pull the square mesh to look like a diamond shape. Diamond shapes are elongated squares after all.
I think Sabrina is the one that needs the adult diapers for farting so much lol
Jacob W it's not her fault Tj put 2 step on Sabrina

Jacob W it's calling TJ lol
Cobra exhaust vent 10-1/2 in. X 20 ft. Mesh Roll Ridge Vent in Black
From home depot. It breathes so little to no added drag and the way it's woven it won't show anything behind. Mount that behind the mesh you already installed and boom. Hope your thanksgiving went well.
Hire Austin Philbeck Bro!
Porch netting kinda sewed in behind the mesh wire works pretty good. It'll create the more tighter look to hide what's behind it...
@tjhunt you don’t you just use a piece of window screen?
TJ, use window mesh. Cut up pieces of window mesh and put it behind your home depot mesh. It'll help hide it more.
The real question is .. when will you complete your brakes ?
Tj its very simple using that mash. Just put multiple sheets overlaying eachother so it looks like the mash is finer. You can decide how much layers you want put the more layers the more cover you get. Like so tj sees this
Whatever happened to the bloopers😟
Find body filler patch panels. They are mesh and small triangle shapes. Might be a lot easier to hide behind it. I believe you can find them at auto part stores or body shops.
Diamonds would have been achieved if he just turned them 90 degrees and cut larger, then fit to size.
babolatuser1 go rotate a square 90 degrees and tell me what shape you end up with. I was actually gonna comment, rotate square mesh 45 degrees to get diamonds. However to get the desired effect he is after, ala 1st Gen cts-v or c5 z06, he needs to buy 1/4 in woven wire mesh, and still rotate 45 degrees, then cut. That home depot stuff was not the correct move. I'm honestly most disappointed in Calvin for not figuring this out.
babolatuser1 45 degrees but yes
Thomas Ferretti he could have stretched the mesh sideways to make then turn into diamonds
you should do a 360 and moonwalk out of here
babolatuser1 this what I was thinkin the whole time!
3d Scan the vents, 3d model louvres, 3d print for a prefect fit and finish!
Double-up the mesh so it look thicker boi.
If you get gutter guards they are the more diamond shape you are looking for and hide it a little better!! Also Teej if you turn squares sideways they become diamonds. 💎
GET SOME ALUMINIUM LASER CUT, it will fit the same and be 100% custom, a Teej special 😉
Calvin needs to become an engineer, always figures out how to fix the problem
Do a ruckus build
Cameron Bernier
That's a great idea! No big auto TH-camr has done a ruckus build.
Well considering that motonosity has more subs than you, a big youtuber has done a ruckus bulid

Not the first

Hey TJ, if you want check out fly or insect screen (you may be able to get it at Home Depo or something). A very tight mesh that'll hide it much better, plus it'll usually be black.
I think painting/wrapping that section of “bunkness” black will be your best bet!
Use the mesh as a base and fiberglass the vents shut, mold and sand flat, that way you can just wrap to match
what are the odds Dustin plows in with Tac's and a Taco convo starts up... and I'm sittin here eating Tac's with Milk... Wild af
Try matte or satin black plastidip or vinyl wrap on the section of panel you want to cover up, covers the colour with no risk of shine and won't ruin any paint underneath the wrap making it virtually impossible to see and safe for your car :)
use window mesh tj, easy to mold and its alot darker and covers a lot more but will still let air flow! :)
Yo teeg! Re-use the same wire and just double stack it and offset the second layer the decrease the size of the gaps between the wires. You could even triple stack it if you wanted. Just keep offsetting each layer and you will be golden pony boy 👍👍
Or just put window tint behind the mesh, it would still be translucent but would also darken the area a bit.
Why don’t you get meshed glass that they use in windows and then tint them a lighter shade of black. Its the window glass that you would see in schools for example. That way, they’ll hide whatevers behind the kit but you can still see through them as of they were open. And finally, you’ll still have the mesh design that you like:)
Your videos make me so happy!
Hey Tj try using gutter guard mesh it's has smaller openings that are diamond shaped also you can get some that is already gloss black from The Home Depot
Use the mesh for like a screen door that you can get at Home Depot. Much tighter holes and already black!
Also double it up and offset them to where the lines are even except for in between the squares so that you get extra line and the squares become smaller so essentially doubling them up and offsetting them will close the gaps more and make the appearance of the cut wheel wells less noticeable
16 guage perforated sheet metal with 1/8” diamonds any metal supply co has it in stock and scraps big enough. And use binder folding tacks.
The mesh you are looking for is gutter guard they have the diamond pattern you need and they make it in black white and almond they have vinyl or metal kind it matches your mesh under the hood like a boss
use a window screen and paint it black. way smaller of holes in a window screen so you wont see through it nearly as easily if you stay 2-3 pieces and paint all black! love the brz teeg keep er goin'

You could go get some screen that is used for house windows / screen door material and put it behind your screen. Use the same mounting spots, should be pretty easy.
Wrap the underside in black. Also if you turn the square mesh, you can have diamond mesh.
Black tape on the stock panel where it's showing will mask it just fine, easy fast and cheap!
Have you seen a screen door? You should go back to Home Depot and buy the screen used in those. It’s much finer and comes pre painted. Ready steady... go!
I love that purple wrap 👌🏼
you could double or triple up on the mesh, making it a finer weave and decreasing the visibility from one side to the other
Look towards screen door mesh, something along those lines, the holes are super tiny and create a dark layer
You could put fabric mesh behind the wire mesh and you can pull on square mesh to make it into a diamond shape
You just need a mesh that has a smaller paten to it, similar to what was originally in the bonnet , the finer the design the less that will show from behind also painting behind the mess with a flat black and leaving the mess silver works well .Most car accessories shops will sell the diamond shaped mess in different sizes .
I miss when tj had a carbon fiber hood on the brz it looked more OEM Material
Use the plastic screen door mesh, has a tighter weave that you might like.
Just take some mat black wrap and cover up the "mess behind the mesh" itself.
It'll still be there, but way harder to be seen and it's a cheap way - especially, if it's just a temporary solution.
