GM has really kicked the price of C5 parts up. For example, I needed the side pieces of weatherstrip for my solid top. I priced them last May @ around $80 per side. When I went to order them in September the rise had jumped to nearly $190 per side. I ordered repro's from Corvette Central for $99 for both sides, the quality was as I would expect OEM to be. Most likey made by the same vendor that supplied GM. I had no problem using a like quality reproduction at 1/4th the cost.

That sucks!!!!!! I took a golfball size rock to my passenger grill and the mesh is F&*%$ up pretty good. The frame is still ok, I'm just going to order new mesh and fix mine for that crazy price!

I'm glad that I had the screens, otherwise that rock would have hit my intercooler. That would be a $1200 problem!

You would need to use the double sided tape that is included with the grills. The non-Z06 C5's do not have the corresponding holes to utilize the mounting tabs.
