Default Radiator screen question

I am considering buying a radiator screen from Elite Engineering or Corvette Garage.

Can owners of this product chime in and let me know if there are any problems with corrosion over a long period of time (ie over one year)?

I haven't yet installed my zinc plated screen, but I don't think you'll have any problems for years with either coating.

I am very happy with mine, but have only had a couple of months.

Elite Engineering. Great product. Works exactly as advertised. Easy installation. Had mine on about 2 months with no issues. When I installed mine I discovered a wadded up piece of newspaper about the size of my fist lodged at the top of the radiator. That won't happen with the screen in place.
