Hello Fellow Vetter,

Just checking to see how many of you Vetter running the C5 with the front fog light screen or No Screen?

I personally like the No screen look, I don't have a fog light so I open the Fog light hole to allow more air in.

I added black screens to my Electron Blue coupe. I like the look better.

I have the screens for two reasons, looks and function, I have a Vararam and I like keeping the bigger things out (bugs) !!!!

I think they serve a purpose (ie comment above) and look great.

I have the Z06 style screens on my car (also with fog lights). I just like the look. Really no reason you couldn't put some holes in the fog light shroud even with the screens. My screens are held in place with Velcro.

My 2004 Z06 CE came with grill screens which I recently painted black.

I don't have them ...yet. I have them on order. I will be removing the fog light surrounds and installing the screens to get cooler air to the dual filter intake I just installed. Color of screen, or screen or no screen, is pretty much personal taste and in the eye of the beholder.

I do not have them and will not. For me, I think the look like what they are, an add on that does not do anything but distract from the C5 look. But each to their own.
