Is this a good (obviously different) look or no? I will be putting Z06 screen in the brake duct areas and post the combo if the weather will ever let me back car out of the garage. Beautiful OH...............

Looks great. Where did you get them? I like the screen look but I hate the idea of being a Z06 posser.

They have been on ebay off and on several times. Can't find them on there right now but if you search Z06 grilles I'm sure they'll be up again. They usually start at $75 and bid out around $100 Wish I still had the email or something to give you.........


thanks for the comments...............

How about a pic a bit farther from the car. I think they look good just too close up.

They look good but the gaps on top and on bottom are not even, like they are just not quite right, close, but not quite there.

Looked at the pic and I see what you're saying. They are parallel and I think the top of the opening curves somewhat. Could also be the angle I took the pic at... Never really noticed, just thought something that didn't look like a lot of other applications would be interesting.......
