Default corvettemods screens installed

Bought some corvettemods1 screens a few weeks back and was finally able to get them in. The job was pretty easy and they look pretty good with the Pewter

Screens look good. Did you install the side and rear screens? Like the look of the hood, also.

No side or rear screens, don't really care for that look.
Paint is original 99 except for the TS hood addition this year.

Not too bad, just have to take your time so you don't scratch anything.
The fog lamps had pliable rubber around them and fit real snug.
The airways sit back in the plastic shroud and kinda snap in the groove.
Have to put them in and use a needle nose to get them in place so they fit tight and don't move.
The whole thing took no more than 30 minutes, but I had it up on the lift... easy to work on at eye level.

I like that they are offset back a bit. I don't like the ones that are installed flush with the body.

Nice job and I once was going to put subtle flames like that on my pewter hood....but I didn't. But I like the look.

Are they the stamped metal ones or they like the Z06 screens SS?
Looking at the picture they look like the stamped ones galvanized.

They are not woven if thats what you mean. They have a diamond pattern to them and dont require a plastic shrouding for installation
