Default Air intake screens

Hopefully one of our vendors comes up with some good looking functional screens to go in the air intakes on the front of the C8 in a stainless or brushed aluminum finish possibly anodized in colors . Seeing those 2 radiators exposed to road debris seems to be asking for trouble . This is just IMHO ...

I agree with this. I’m in bug country and these intakes will be full after the first night of driving. Hopefully someone will respond with a screen of some kind.

I just rec'd my car on Friday, taking measurements and working on a design to incorporate stainless steel mesh and powder-coat if black..
Soon as I fabricate it I will post pics, so save this post. I thougy about aluminum, but they dent from stones and get chipped when they do dent.
SS is the way to go.

I agree. They missed the mark on protecting the intakes!
Let me know if an aftermarket kit becomes available.

I am also interested in replacing the rear plastic vents below the tail lights with aluminum replacements.
