Default Lower screen question.

Has anyone had any over heating issues after installing the anti leaf and crap screen?

Mine has been on for ~ 1 year now and no problems. I highly recommend this mod. Keeps alot of stuff from going up the intake and sticking against the radiator.

Mine's been on for over a year now. No overheating problems what so ever. It's still clean up in the radiator area also.

Made my own screen and installed it. No problems for the last year. Also did my son's car and no problems there.

Don't see why you would have any overheating problem unless the screen becomes blocked.

I bought mine from Mid America Motorworks, they're a Forum Sponsor. Try madvette.com I've had mine on for over a year now. It's a good idea to check it now and then. I had a plastic grocery bag stuck to mine. David

PS. It's really easy to install, you just remove a few small bolts, slip it in and replace the bolts. Ten minute job.
