Default debris screen

Can anyone help me find the thread about the under car debris screen to keep trash from blocking the radiator? I can't remember which company sells them.
Thanks for your help. David

The Forum Store has a really nice one. If you're running a GM Bra, you will need longer snap fasteners for under front the Bumper, though. Best,

Shiny is important for that select bunch that installs chrome oil pan screws, has chromed floor boards and polishes their H-pipe!

The design I thought was the best as far as clean installation and the most open area to not restrict air flow to the radiator was from Valaya Racing, but I am not sure they still have a supplier to manufacture them.

Home Depot for me, too. The polypropylene stuff. Fastens under the screws up front and since the middle air dam alteration for the I/C radiator, it fastens in the rear to the air dam bracket. And the most important thing...It's BLACK.

Thanks for your help, I think I will go to Home Depot for my material. Those things are pretty pricey.

I made one for less than ten dollars.. it will stop leaves and plastic bags. It will take a good hit from road debris too. Ive had it on there for three years. It is impossible to see it unless its on a lift. Naturally it wont keep out dirt and so forth so you do have to clean the condensor and radiator atleast once a year.
