" Clean Shield" Trash Catcher
I just saw a new product in the latest Corvette Central catalog. It's on page 82 and is an aluminum mesh shield that goes under the front bumper to stop most of the road trash that inevitable gets sucked up behind the radiator. I'm wondering if anybody has one yet and how well does it work. My concern is does it block air flow to the radiator? Anybody know? Sure would be nice not to have to remove the radiator every spring to clean out the trash. :steering:

The screen kits work just fine. This pic is my homemade variant. Running temps are 3-5 degrees above termostat (195) which tells me the change from without a screen is negligable. I was running 205-215 with a 20% blockage from all the ca-ca that had gathered between the rad and condensor.
