Not sure what a Rubber Pressurized Grille is,

But

These are pretty much the best sellers out there.

They come with a plastic surround that slides into the opening.

I bought my front mesh screens from the VetteShop here on the forum. Good product at a good price. But, they do not have any kind of rubberized coating around them - they are just stainless steel.

The ones Chip mentions above are very good also - Race Mesh makes a really good set of screens.

I purchased the same ones from "VetteShop" since they were the least expensive.. but I guess what you pay for, I did not have the same result as Jack. Mine rusted in under a year but there are many others who have had the same ones for longer with no issues. Not sure why mine fared that way

I will be going with the RaceMesh from now on..

29 bucks from Corvette Mods on ebay with free brake duct screens . They are the cheaper compression fit type , I believe they are just flat with a rubber border . They look good in the ad mounted on several cars but I'll have to wait n see about the quality and fit . Just ordered a set , if they look descent and keep some debris out of the Vararam I'll be good .

Can't speak to the other brands, but RaceMesh does not rust.

Never seen a set rust in 8 years...
