Default Screen set question

Anybody have this screen set from Vetteshop? Do they stay put after installed. Seems like too good of a price but maybe I'm jaded by the "corvette tax" making everything more expensive than it should be!

Thanks for any info!

They are made of very good quality material. I got the 3 pc set plus the Z06 screens. Never had any problem with the brake ducts or the Z06 screens, but the side cowls came loose on the drivers side, just on the inside, kinda swung like on a hinge. Passenger side was ok. The rears came loose on one side also. I fixed this with some 3M industrial strength double sided tape. The 3 pc set is a great deal, another vendor I've seen the 3 pc set will cost you close to 150.00.

I got mine off of ebay and I think they may have been from vette shop. Nice quality and they've been on the car a few weeks with no problems. I think if you do a good job of ensuring fit and cleaning the surface before trying to stick them on you'll be ok.

And the price is about half of what they used to cost a year ago.

Default Screens/mounting

Had the same attaching problems.Removed the double sided tape from all the screens. Cleaned all the mounting surfaces and used "black" tub & tile caulking.Held all the screens in place with blue painters tape overnight to dry
