Radioflyer97's How-To Post #7: DIY radiator screen.
Cost breakdown:
$7 for a 3'x5' sheet of mesh from home depot.
$3 for two 1 1/2" #8 bolts, nuts and washers.
rough measurements: 11.5"x28"
Cut and mount using existing hardware. I removed the radiator duct (okay it removed itself on a random rock, but i removed the rest)

I used the existing mounting screws to secure the front side and the two bolts on the frame to secure the rear. I did drill two holes for the small nut/bolts to secure the rear corners.
Kill the Corvette Tax.... DIY!! :flag:
