Default Z06 Front Screens

Dumb question, but.

Who else besides Ecklers, and Mid America. sell the Z06 Screens ?

I contacted Gene with Fred Bean. I know he will get me a deal.

But wanted to check them out.

I want a set I can take off, like with the velcor, to clear.

We got bugs as big as birds around here.

Everything is BIGGER IN TEXAS.


Thanks all.

He also has the best deal you'll find anywhere on the screen set that incldues all but z06 foglight screens (front brake ducts/side gills/rear fascia)

I bought all my here and velcor'd em on with home depot industrial velcro; 2 years and they ain't going anywhere!

All my screens are from Vetteshop. I believe he's the manufacturer that everyone else buys from. I've had them on for a few months - they're doing fine and clean up nice.

Those look GREAT .

Can you take them on and off easy ?

No kidding, I drove my vette this weekend not much on the highway
and had big old yellow bug SPLATS, on the front.

Man had to clean that off quick.

Here is the pricing so far.

Elcklers and Mid America $99.00 plus shiping
Fred Bean ( Gene ) Real GM Z06 screens $108.00 plus shipping

Would there be any advantage to getting GM screens ?

The grilles are held in place by small hex screws that go into L brackets attached with 3m tape behind the grille. They can be removed in seconds for cleaning with a small allen wrench - supplied. The kit includes the brake duct grilles also - you get all 4 grilles and brackets for $115 unless they raised the price. You won't believe the quality for that price - they are about 1/4" thick billet aluminum clear coat on the front, black coated on the back side and easy to install.

Personally, I think everybody has the Z06 grilles - these give the car a real nice, upscale custom look. And the quality is great.

I figure you cant go wrong with OEM parts. I got mine at www.gmpartsdirect.com about $110 shipped. Picked up some velcro to put them in, works great. I can pull them out anytime.
