First mod: Z06 Grills

Installed these this morning using the vecro method I read about here on the forum. Very easy, only took about 1/2 hour to do them both. Big improvement to the look of the front of the car.

These are the OEM GM Grills, got a great deal from GM Parts Direct.

WAit, so is the heads and Cam not considered a Mod? or did you buy it that way?

I have screens sitting at home waiting for it to get above freezing temperatures so i can paint it black

Great job on your first mod. You are now on your way to the great addiction of VETTE MODS.

I did a search for the C5 Z06 Grills and the velcro attach method. Couldn't find, or didn't see, that thread for the installation of the front grills using velcro. I'm gonna get the screen kit from the Vetteshop for my 98 C5, and woul like to do these screens too. Next time I get the Vette up on the lift I'll see if you can get behind the openings and clean the area and add the velcro to hold the screens in place.
