Good thing I checked my front intake. Thought I sucked in a squirrel, but only turned out to be a Prius.

have you yet seen a "proper" screened in front? it's definitely not for purists and while i have seen your car, ( but not recently by pic of course..) i know of enough stuff you have that an "aftermarket" solution might not bother you esp if it looks "right" and serves its purpose well.

since I've screened mine in, not one thing has gotten into MY rad fins to fossilize! at least that i'm aware off. may have to r&r the front soon anyway so i'll be checking again ( relatively ) soon.

it isn't the debris that was driving me nuts, more so the bugs and other various and sundry items that would lodge into the fins of the rads! THAT... made me

hey fellas..thx for the brownie pts. have given back to all the machine has allowed me! G*d knows i didn't "deserve" 'em hah
I've had mine done quite a while ago, its amazing things still get through, I try to clean yearly by removing front bar.

I purchased in larger pieces and cut them to size. Quite economical but time consuming as you need to take off front bar.
