Black screen in bumper vents. How?
Do they sell or does anyone have a game plan on putting some type of black screen in the front bumper vents.

Check with vendors like CCA or VetteShop. I'd bet they have black powdercoated mesh screen for the brake duct openings and also that go over the fog light area.

I ran them for a while, they don't show up at all unless you bend down and look...ended up taking them out for that 'black hole' look...

Hands down the best quality grilles for the C5. I've ran mine for 3 years now and they are still perfect. Mine are electropolished SS but they offer many finishes including black.

I have the black Racemesh grilles in all my (C5's) orifices. You don't even notice them in the brake ducts, side coves and rear fascia unless you look closely.

No, not at all. The black ones tend to disappear into their respective openings, not unlike the ubiquitous black wheels. This is the look I wanted - subtle, but a finished detail. If you want to draw attention to them, you can get them in other finishes as well.
