Default Front screen replacement

Just noticed my driver side is starting to fall apart and is separating from the housing. I'm seeing them online for like $150-$160 a side.
GM part numbers: 10424820 and 10424821

Has anyone used the vette nuts version? I'm assuming it will work and comes as a set.

I'm not seeing Z06 grills. The only thing I see they have that is close to what I need are screens with fog light inserts. I just need screen replacement, not looking for ones with fog light inserts. Thanks for posting though.

You may be getting hung up on their wording. The RaceMesh grilles do not have holes for the fogs to shine through. They cover the area completely.
I don't know how the Z06 screens attach. The RaceMesh screen is fixed to a black surround with double-back tape that attaches to the perimeter of the opening,
I have a set in black chrome that I have never installed. PM me if you are interested.

The only ones I'm seeing on the race mesh site mention having a fog light insert?

@Not4spd These are the stainless mesh Z06 screens only.

I think the description is meant to say these will work on either the Z06 cold air, OR the base model with the fog light inserts.

^ I agree. Those appear to be the screens without a cutout for fog lights, but if you have them the fog lights shine through just fine. I had a set on my C5 coupes and I held them in with Velcro.

Do you still have them? Is this the ones that the screen is attached to a plastic housing?
