I found a screen distributor in my area and bought SS. Enough to do the front brakes side gills and rear vents for $37. Looks great and won't fall out.

I bought the side gill screens form this person and the quality was excellent. I think I paid $20 shipped and they were better than the ones that the major vendors sell at places like Carlisle where they would offer a show special price of $49. I was very satisfied and the screen patter seems to match the GM screens on the Z06.

Try www.vetteshop.cc
I've purchased screens from Ken, and the quality is excellent. Matches the OEM Z06 Screens exactly!
