Default Clean air!!

Does anyone make a mesh screen for the intake area under the front
of a c4. Removing my radiator and discovering all the trash I wondered how hard it would be to stop the trash before it enters. Seems like I've
seen what I want on this forum but could not locate.
Thanks all

Jim

Yes, there were a few recent topics on this. Mine has never had junk get stuck on the front of it. Lots of small bugs though. I have not put a screen on because I would have to remove it to clean the bugs.

Here is how I did mine:





I bought an aluminum screen for rain gutter, can of high temp flat black paint, 2 self tapping screws with washers, and 2- 6" black cable zip ties. My 94 measured 27" across the top opening and 28" across the bottom. Total cost of the parts at HomeDePot was less than $8.00 and about 20 minutes of time.
