Default Bug Screen for Grille

Does anybody know if the grille on the new C7 (2014 Corvette), is easily removed so that a bug screen can be mounted? Problem is here in Louisiana we have a bug called "Love Bugs" that are so thick in May and September that these pesky varmints will clog an A/C Condensor & Radiator in no-time flat..... I've got my new Corvette on order and want to have some kind of knowledge before hand on how to tackle the grille and the bugs.....Thanks, Ron

I use the stretch nose mask for that very purpose on trips. About $100 if I remember correctly and easy install. Should be quickly available on C7s.
