My fans only come on when I am stuck in stop-and-go traffic, or when I am idling for a long time. This hasn't changed since putting the mesh on.
Do this experiment: Let your car idle for a while until your fans come on. Keep a mental note of the temperature gauge needle position when the fans come on (it's a bit after halfway on the gauge). Let the fans cycle off. Go drive. Observe that the temperature gauge needle never reaches the point where your fans would turn on.
