Stainless mesh stone guards ?
Found these awesome stainless mesh stone guards by Rugged Ridge (11102.01 STONE GUARD SET, 6-PIECE,Satin over Stainless Steel, CJ 1972-1986). Unfortunately these are for the CJ ... Would like something similar for my 2012 JK Sahara as I really like the "old school" look - any recommendations on where to find them? If not, I may attempt DIY ... any insights? (Thanks - first time poster to the forum!)

Found 'em !
Though I didn't hear from anyone on this thread, I did come across these via another path. Several years ago, I owned a 1078 MG Midget and had some old Moss Motors catalogs ... checked out the similar parts for MG & found that they appeared to be what I was looking for. So ... I ordered the headlight guards just to see if they would fit ... and, sure enough they do! Here's the best part ... on the jeep sites and catalogs they typically run $40 to $70 bucks ... Moss Motors offers them for $12 + shipping [URL="http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=40697"]

At least...
Well for me anyway, a good way to protect the new Hella headlights I have. And seeing that I have my JK 'blacked out'... It my look cool to black out these too? 
I once tried the Rugged Ridge CRAP Guards (they didn't even last a month, the tube ones that is), these are a cooler looking cheap alternative. And I bet the mounting tabs will even line up (the other problem with the not so 'Rugged' Ridge guards).

Thanks
New member here mentioning all forums that hekped me with great build ideas. Ive always loves mesh stone guards. All my jeeps had em. Couldnt find nothing for the jk. Only ugly ones that we’re useless. From here ive read about universal mg vintage style stone guards 7 in diameter. They sell them hniversal for old motorcycles and pairs for old mg cars. Found a set on ebay $35. Got gloss black. Should’ve got flat black. Anyway. They come with universal brackets. All you have to do it refit them into the very small headlight trim torx screws. Bend as needed. I just clamped them over my headlight and bent the tab inwards. Theres several ways to do this. Although not perfect. I like the overall end result.

Great look in black! ... btw - got mine from Moss Motors online ... https://mossmotors.com/stoneguards-pair ... $10.89 for a pair and includes the brackets ... don't know if they offer them in black thought - I got mine in chrome ... love the look.
