Default Side vent screens by Pipedreams

I just installed side vent screens using Pipedreams template and advise.
I did the front grill to.
Job was easy to do and I got to clean the front wheel wells real good while I was at it.
Cost me less than $20 and I have some gutter guard and velcro left to do something else with. Who knows maybe I will put it on my gutters.
Also notice the pipedreams (nakidparts) mudflaps. Another cheap but effective mod.

Those side vent screens are a cheap mod and make a pretty big difference. They really enhance the car's appearance, we have the exact same ones on our vette.

Try this. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...ic-c6-gen.html

The pictures are not up anymore though. But if you look in the c6 faq section I think you will find where others have taken pictures which will show you what to remove. It is very easy to do.

Same here only painted mine in a semi gloss black on my DSOM, really improved the over all look. Also did the front grill only on the outside and used some vinyl door edge guard around the outside of the screen.
