go to sears hardware. they have those patio door grills. it should be around the door and window section. mine is a 3/8's mesh. it comes with an aluminum frame that can be easily removed. it cost around $15. it's the same exact thing that wings west sells for $20 a foot......

nahh man, that apc shit is crap, and its expensive as hell. i tihnk the upper grille costs liek 70 bucks an the lower is liek 120. its much much cheaper to do it urself, and it will look a lot more custom.

i do not have any pictures during the process. just read the link and visualize it.......it's really easy and it will make more sense once u take apart the top section....
