Default Fog Light Screens

I promised myself I wouldn't start modding my "new" Nassau Blue FRC, however, I have caught the mod bug at least when it comes to a few things. Is there a particular brand of fog light screens and font brake duct screens that everybody agrees on? Can you suggest some brands/styles in particular?

Also, any idea what might look good with Nassau Blue? I plan on getting the base C6 wheels that are painted silver (not chrome).

I bought my Z06 style screens from the Vette Shop, a forum vendor. Looks very close to the OEM screens but much cheaper. Have been on the car better than 6 years and holding up well.

I was just going to get a set as my passenger side was a victim of flying highway debris. I've bought Racemesh before and was happy with the product but.... Backordered. All Backordered.

Here is the 411

The Fog light surrounds are back ordered. They have been for
over a year. GM sold the rights to a company to make the fog light
surrounds. (GM no longer makes them) The company that bought the
rights has said for over a year that they are coming. Just recently
the latest news that we have is that they are not going to make them
at all. This goes for direct from RaceMesh as well...

Will keep you updated if there is any changes.

Regards
Chip

I just removed a set of repro Z06 fog light screens from my car. I decided, after several years, that I liked the cleaner look. I decided to replace them with these. Sure, you can always open them up yourself but I like the design of the holes. It looks stock.

Anyway, if you're willing to pay for shipping, I am willing to send you my old Z06 screen assemblies. Let me know.
