Default Racemesh screen question

Couple of question. Does anyone have (or have any thoughts on) the elecropolished look for the grills? Here is a link.

http://www.customcorvetteaccessories...shgrilles.html

I was originally thinking about going with the black ones but now I'm thinking the electropolished. But my worry about the electropolished is that they might be too "bling bling" and hurt the look of the car.

Also, it seems that in that kit you do not get the special Z06 rear brake duct covers---I cannot seem to find them on that site---anyone know here you can get a electropolished kit that includes all the screens, including the Z06 rears? I of course would strongly prefer that my screens match one another

Thanks!

I don"t know of any RaceMesh sreens for the Z06 rear brake ducts, you may have to live with what you have. I have the RaceMesh polished stainless screens on my 99 FRC and I couldn't be happier. I have the whole RaceMesh package and it is DEFINATELY not too much bling.

They could probably make screens for the Z06 brake ducts. I know they have made screens for aftermarket hoods before. On the Z06 brake ducts, you will have to separate the two pieces of the duct which are basically epoxied together. The screen sits between those two pieces.

unfortunately, my car is still in the shop getting a new transmission installed, and so much more. I expectedd it back weeks ago. Today will be the two month mark I have not had it. When I finally get it, I will install them and post my pics. Sorry for the delay.
