The $275 was an assumption based on their website pricing of previous screen sets.

I agree on the group buy.

Considering the alternatives, these are decent priced. You would spend more in man hours form fitting, painting and installing. These seem to be plug and play.

Expect final screens soon. They should go. In production shortly after that final fitting. Screens at the powder coaster from what I understand.

I have seen no temp increase at all. The screens would not seem to block air sufficiently to create a problem.

Hope the pictures help.

Thanks!!! Nice work! Beautiful job fabricating those screens. I especially like the black, and think it will be a nice addition on all of our cars. I really appreciate you going to the trouble to show us what this mod will look like.
