Default Radiator Screen - SALE

We have recently completed another production run of our radiator screens. For a limited time would like to offer these screens at a discounted rate to CF members. In stock and ready to ship.

Protect your radiator with our one-piece radiator screen.

Because the C5 so so low to the ground, it is notorious for sucking up road debris that will clog the cooling system. A clogged radiator will result in higher engine temperatures and the potential for overheating.

Keep in mind these are not the cheap flimsy screens. They are a custom fit design that will install using your existing hardware.

For more information and pictures, check our this link:


http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/C...or_screen.html

And I know we all hate threads without prices so here ya go:

Zinc Plated custom screen = $75.00 shipped to your door
Black Plated custom screen = $80.00 shipped to your door

Please send me an email if you have any questions.

All orders will be shipped as soon as possible, but within five days after receipt of payment.

Thanks in advance, Jeff

Great, I've been meaning to pick one of these up. What's the regular price on both types? How long is this sale going to last? I'm going to wait a week or two before I order.

I've only driven mine 15,000 miles and I've had a huge plastic bag, a fast food paper bag, a fast food drink cup, snack size chips bag, and more twigs and leaves than I can count.

That large plastic bag was blocking over 50-60% of the radiator that I could see... I wonder how many Corvettes are driving around with that kind of stuff up in there for thousands of miles and not even know to check up there.

And for those of you who would rather cheap out and get chicken wire remember that you drive a Corvette, not a 4-banger import. Also I hear that junk rattles and if it chips it'll rust quickly.

Great, the regular price is $90.00 for the zinc plated and $120.00 for the black. So as you can see, we tried to make this a super offer. How long? I'm not really sure, it all depends on how they sell. If we sell out quickly, the sale will be over.

This is a must for you guys that haven't got one. This thing protected my radiator and A/C compressor a week ago and took a heck of a blow and did it's job superbly when I had to run over a piece of road drebis. Some money very well spent.

BTW, I do not know the vendor selling the product, just encouraging those who have doubts.

Jeff @ Elite is a great vendor! I've bought a set of pedals from him and at least three window valets. Prompt and courteous service, high quality products and great prices to boot....man I think I've died and gone to heaven!

I'm gonna order one of these too!

Does it vibrates and rattles? I had one from Eckler and had to returned it because the rattles was more than I can stand.

Absolutely not. I think one of the advantages of our screen is the outside frame. It really makes this screen rigid.

Jeff & his company is great! Bought the screen a month back and the workmanship is top notch. Less than 10 minutes to install. No rattles, uses OEM parts and a perfect fit. IMO - a must have item for those who has or planning a bottom feeder CAI.

I put one on earlier this year (from Elite), and it fits snug and NO rattles. Works like a charm. Easy and useful mod.

No problem with rattles. It's a high quality, well made product, in a solid metal frame. You'll be very happy with it. The only problem I'd had with the install was that I have a GM bra, and the three snaps under the front of the nose that hold on the bra aren't long enough to go all the way through the car's fascia and the screen and into the frame. The shanks on the snaps are about 5/8" long, and the stock screws are about 3/4" long. I tried every marine boat shop in the area for longer snaps but couldn't fine any. 5/8" seems to be the longest made unless you prefab some yourself. I did a google seach for fasteners, but still couldn't find snaps with a longer threaded shank than 5/8". I ended up installing the screen with the stock longer screws and eliminated the GM bra for now.
