Here are some installation instructions. http://www.fullthrottlecorvette.com/...t%20Grills.pdf


Shows that they are just glued in. For that price I would visit Home Depot and get some gutter screens...

Back in the day on my T/A, I went to home depot and got some of that metal "gutter screen" stuff for dry wall. A whole 4x8 sheet was like $9 bucks at most. You can cut it shape it and paint if you like. Then fiberglassed some and used bondo on others to hold in.
