C6 Stainless Steel Side Grills

We've been asked for a nice mesh side grill kit for a while now. We've got the solution, our new diamond shaped mesh side grills are easy to install and will not fall out.

These grills wrap around the entire duct opening, using large pieces of 3M VHB tape to assure they will stay in place forever. Each grill is cut from a laser are superior in shape, size and quality over all other grills on the market.

These are hand formed and polished, truly the best looking side grills we've seen. Installation takes roughly 45 minutes with provided instructions.





We've got them available here:

Do these require the removal of the wheels? or do they install from the outside?

RPI Designs

You do not need to remove the wheels. These install through the
wheel well area. I'll post the installation instructions below:

PARTS INCLUDED:
___2-Laser Mesh Side Vent Grilles
___2-Adhesive Promoter Packs
___2-Optional Lengths of Chrome Side Trim


The best way to gain clearance to do this installation although it is not absolutely necessary is to jack up the car on the side you are working on. In doing this you will be lowering the wheel out of the wheel well thusly creating plenty of room to work. Set a jack stand in place for safety. You will notice that there are several plastic retainers fastening the black inner wheel well to the fender. Remove the retainers and then separate the liner from the fender. Once this is done reach further in and detaches the inner vent shield by forcing it away from the fender by hand. This liner is fastened with a small square of double faced tape and will not be harmed from the detachment. In fact after installation is complete you will simply press it back into position.


Now that you have created access to the vent hole itself the next step will be to prepare two areas for attachment. Using a paper towel scrub the two inner sides of the vent hole with alcohol to remove any road grime or dirt. Then wipe away any residue with a fresh paper towel. Once this is done swipe the areas with the adhesive promoter provided. NOTE: This promoter is NOT a cleaning agent. Do not use it to clean the surfaces. It is a BONDING agent that will insure the grilles attachment long term.


Although you new grilles come to you pre shaped it WILL be necessary to further shape each grille by hand in order to achieve a nice contoured fit. You may need to set the grilles in position with every adjustment several time before you get them just right so BE patient. In this process you will also be training yourself how to place the grilles for the peel and stick installation.


Once you have achieved a nice contoured fit simply peel the red release liner from the grille completely and then carefully set the grille in position. Press the attachment tape to the fender on the inside as you apply pressure with you fingers from the outside of the fender to create a nice bond. Once you have set the grille simply press the inner fender back in place and then reassemble the fender liner to complete the installation.


You have been supplied with two lengths of chrome trim (Optional) This trim has been supplied to be placed at the outer edge of the vent opening to add a nice finished appearance. Simply clean the vent ridge with household rubbing alcohol then swipe with the adhesive promoter provided. Once preparation is complete simply peel the red release liner from the precut trim and set in place. Pressing firmly to set in place.

I can't tell for sure but these pictures seem to show an open space on the bottom of the grill on the side closest to the car, for example, on the passenger side installation, the lower left of the grill looks like a blank space. Do you have any closeup shots of this area in particular?

Thanks.

DaBum

I take it these would not fit the c-6 Z06. If so please PM me and let me know.They look pretty sharp, but something tells me the grilles are a little different size. Hope i'm wrong.
Thanks
