Default Rad protection

Looking at my C5 on the hoist I am surprised there is not a screen on the bottom to protect the rad, I am sure there is an aftermarket part. Thanks

You can use one of those screens or do like I do and check that area every time you wash the car. Clean as needed.

My sex Ed teacher told me that condoms were pretty rad too.

Glad to see people in the real world seem to agree with this notion, but not sure how it's relevant to corvettes.

​​​​​​​Wait, where's that meme about a girl dropping her panties because I drive a corvette?

I have one I took off years ago to make room for a SC. It's a powder coated screen that connects using stock bolts, and keeps crap out of the gap between radiator, and condenser. If you're interested, I can send a pic. Also have complete Vararam B2, with VR air bridge (all like new) and connectors that I no longer need.
