Racemesh grill?
All, I'm thinking of adding the Racemesh front screen to my LMB C6. For those who have done it, is it a quality piece? How is the install and are you happy with this mod? Pics would be appreciated. Also, who sells them at the best prices?

I am looking for a front grille that matches the GM Accessory Rear mesh Exhaust plate (so the say) and the side fender Mesh with Chrome spears for my c6.
Is Race Mesh the one? The photos did not look like a match to me.

I got the polished one from PFYC.com & it is a very nice product.

Um - how about the gutter screen from HomeDepot; it's like $3bucks.

for an example - the steel ones at homedepot are in the roofing sections.

I installed Racemesh on my C6 -- high quality and a perfect fit.

Dude - come on that's about ridiculous. Everyone knows that the wood may catch fire if you do that in the engine compartment. If you use duct-tape to fashion the intake-filter-box and cover it in 5minute epoxy you'll have a better looking and longer lasting CAI.
On a side note; if you are really putting it for "racing" then that's a bit-o-cash for a grill that would take damage; hence the on the cheap grill.
Finally, the racemesh is very good looking...

It will get very dirty and filled with grass and road clagg. Which that is the reason for the screen, to help keep the radiator clean.
I would not get a polished one, but a black one or natureal gun metal color - forget keeping the screen clean, that is an oxymoron.

Wait until a big ARZ bug goes though it or a chunk of tar bounces up off the road from the truck 50 yards in front of you
