Default Z06 screens on C5?

Anyone have any pics as to how this would look.......

I can see it working for everything except for the fog lights on the C5......i'm curious as to how that would look.......would you need to do cutting work on the screens or what?


Thanx

if you have the screens from mid america (item number 606-951) or from ecklers, all you have to do is use the double sided tape they give you or put on some velcro and stick em in. the fog lights don't get in the way so it shouldn't be a problem but some members drilled holes in the fog light surround to allow air to pass through.

heres a link to the screens with the fog lights behind em:

The screens over the fog lights on a coupe or vert look just like they do on the Z06 - same front end. As far as the fog lights go, they still shine through the mesh very well, but the stock fog lights are limited in their output. I installed mine with velcro and they have stayed on very well for over three years. With the velcro, I can take them off to clean the fog lights.

Screens have no appreciable effect on the foglight output. They stop a lot of crap from entering my VaraRam though.

Both of these coupes have the screens. We cut out the plastic next to the fog lights so air flows into the engine bay for additional cooling.

The brake duct screens were a pita to keep in place so we didn't bother.
