I think I like the smaller mesh....the larger mesh lets things like cigarette butts through, although it undoubtedly stops a lot of the crap....has anyone done any testing to see if the smaller mesh inhibits airflow at all that might impede the cooling function of the front radiators? Nice jobs guys....they look professionally done.

There sure was a lot of crap removed from between the condenser and the radiator....this is a good project to take on right after the autumn leaves fall. With all those cigarette butts, it's no wonder we see so many wild fires in remote areas....looks like a lot of folks toss burning butts out the windows.

Yep, especially the outer radiators, they angle and all the stuff goes to the rear and you cannot get to it without removing the bumper cover and ducts.

It is not a very hard thing, just a little learning curve finding all the screws to remove and such...

Here is all the crap that came out of the radiators. I would recommend cleaning yours out even if you don't do the mesh!



Now, my car spent most of it's life in Houston. And this wrapper was in the radiator:
