I don't have them but they did receive kudos in a past thread I read. I guess they are easy to install as well.

Do it, these are quality screens. Vetteshop screens are not like the screens that midamerica sells (galvanized). The galvanized screens started to rust in a matter of six months to a year. The vetteshop screens are stainless steel and look as good as the day I got them. Sorry no pics of the screens in back.

The ones from the VetteShop are good quality and you can't beat the price.

Unfortunately they don't include the front intake screens.
Those two are sold separately for $119.99.
A little bit too much "Corvette tax" for my taste.

For the adventurous, you can buy a sheet of material to screen all openings on your vette for $25 from Hoerr Racing Products.

I did this when I did the wide body on the vette, and just had them epoxied from the back side. 1 sheet did my rear fascia vents, side vents, brake duct vents and fog light openings in front, and the louver vents on the heat extractor hood.

Cheers,

I wonder how much the front screens diffuse the fog lights, now that I've upped the wattage and re-aimed them to be more live driving "assist" lights. Anyone care to comment on that?

Thanks

Looks like it will be a PITA to remove dead bugs from the screens. I’d pass.

I dont think they affect much at all, if any. I just installed foglights onto my Z and no prob at all.

As for bug removal. Just like anything else. The longer the bugs sit and dry, the harder to remove. I havent had any bug removal problems on my screens.
