Rear Wing Vents

I have an aftermarket wing that I installed last year. My question is does the Misha or other aftermarket wings have mesh inserts over the vents? Mine did not have any. My vents are wide open which is good for air flow, but I'm a little concerned that something (rock, leaves, debris) could slip down in the vents and possibly cause some issue if it ended up in the engine bay. Thanks.

Yes, the Misha comes with vent screens, I know because I was looking at one and that was a specific questions I asked them. If you don't have screens get some on because you are correct, leaves and things will get in. If you know who made the wing contact them, if not Home Depot here you come.

I was told it was a Misha wing. I bought it second hand. Looks like I'll be going the Lowes/home depot route though. I just want something to block anything other than air from coming through the vent.

Contact Misha first (call or e-mail) and tell them what's going on, they may give you a pair or at a discount. Can't hurt and you never know!

Yeah if its misha just contact Alex and he can work something out for the mesh. If not no big deal, the mesh is cheap and just purchase some epoxy to get it installed.
