Radiator Screen
I have half a maple trees leave stuck up between my rad and trans cooler and hopefully the screen will prevent this. Where do you buy and what's the install if you know.
Thanks

some vendors sell them...about $80-90..I made one for less than $20 with parts from Home Depot...basically screws right in under there.

) But really, I did it this way and it works just fine. If you are interested in detailing the undercarriage, then you can buy an after market one and have it gold platted. Thanks,

Elite Engineering - www.eliteengineeringusa.com makes a bolt-in radiator screen.
They are just taking delivery on an upgraded version of the screen. The original screens were made of galvinized steel. The new screens are now made of aluminum, which won't rust and are lighter than the steel screens.

I bought metal screen from Home Depot for about $8 that gives you enough meat to make at least 6 screens. Gave some to my friends. It bolts in using the existing screws that hold the front bumper to the radiator shroud, five screws, that's it. Or you can buy the same thing from Mid-America for $60.

I got mine from WCC, but I highly recommend it whichever way you go (DIY or vendor). I couldn't believe the crap they blew out of there before installing it and it only had 7K miles on it.
