Rock destroyed condenser -- got mesh installed on all front grills

sdg1871 ; Can you take another picture showing the detail of your grill mesh or tell me if the holes are actually round. Maybe it's just me but the mesh shown on the rennline.com install video appears different as compared to yours. Yours looks better imo and appears to be a punched style with round holes vs the cut and stretch rennline style.

The dealer was kind enough to replace my condenser under warranty but said it would not be able to do so again. So I ended up getting black mesh grill coverings installed on the front grills. Here are the pictures:
While I was there I had the annual service, oil change and brake flush done. Replaced OEM brake fluid with Castrol SRF racing brake fluid. Brake pads were still really good (8 mm on front and 10 mm in front). And the Pilot Super Sports still had 5 mm of tread left.
Now car is rally ready for the Corsa America Dragon 1100 rally and the Cannonball Run Rally this year.

I ordered the Rennline grill but dealer says they need to cut it to accommodate the ACC Eye....

The fellow that installed mine is no slouch and he messed with them for a couple hours...and that was after he had the bumper off so maybe not a huge task but not a real simple one either..he claimed he had a few challenges..with fit/fasteners etc
