Gt2 mesh grill

Any one make a reasonably priced, press-in mesh grill for the 3 front radiator inlets in a Gt2. I notice a lot of rock damage to the radiators already!

WE generally use stainless mesh and cut it to size then safety wire it in the openings...Mark

I go one from Ruf. I think it was made for their front end, but it worked fine.

Here is the best grill pic that I have. The camera's flash makes it hard to tell, but the grills are black.

Grills look great.

Keep in mind that those mesh grills for street use can be high maintanence. The holes are not small enough to keep out common road debris/bugs, so you will need to remove the front bumper cover to keep the radiators clean. The only mesh that keeps that stuff out that I have seen is a speedlingerie bra. The wire mesh will keep out larger items such as stones and rubber thrown up at the track. Just my two cents from what I have heard from others who have the mesh...fyi

John, is the mesh anodized or is it painted? I had mine painted and after less than a month practically the entire bottom half is silver again.

I believe it is anodized. Give Asgar a call...
