Does anyone make a grill for the C4??
yeah yeah.. I know it is Ricer step #16 to add a grill, but I am REALLY REALLY sick of my radiator getting birds nests in it every couple years, and I figure, since the intake is under the nose, it probaly wouldnt be visible anyway.. Anyone know if these are made for our cars??

There was a thread not too long ago with some that added their own grill/screen to protect the radiator. You might do a search to find it.

Lawton at Top Flight Corvette in San Diego says he has an aluminum screen for C4s & C5s. I haven't seen it, I just met him at the Plastic Fantastic show a few weeks ago.
I've got his card at home. I'll dig it up and post his phone and address.

I seem to recall someone used some aluminum (door/window) screen from Home Repo to filter the air coming from underneath. Sounds like a cheap solution since nobody will really see anyway.

Yeah call Lawton at Top Flight Corvette. 858-547-8388. The Grill he has prevents junk from getting sucked up into the radiator. He is selling the C-5s like crazy and I think he is developing one for the C-4 as we speak.

Her is a pic of the one I have on my 1992 coupe. Got tired of all the junk getting in.
You can see the Trans. cooler also.
