T3 Ports

My T3 Ports should come in tomorrow and want to know what some of you guys are using to put behind the Ports so it's not a big empty hole.

I want to buy a good quality sheet of mesh, any idea where I can buy a sheet?

I know a decent number of people are putting wire mesh behind them. They probably get it at home depot or something, than some rust proof paint on top of it to protect it.

Thanks stieger. I will look into that. I mainly want something that will hold up and last for a long period of time.

a thick wire mesh and then give it numerous coats of a rust-proof spray paint.

Alright and I can find the paint and mesh at home depot? I won't be doing the install myself. I will be dropping my car off at a body shop

Either finding it locally and plasti-dip is another option.
Or search online for powder coated mesh.

UPDATE:

Just spoke with Joe, he said to give him a few weeks because he's working on something new for the Ports. That's pretty exciting!

The problem is, I'm going to be doing this install next Monday, so where should I buy the mesh for the time being?
