Bug bloom

[1st Vette]

With spring starting for some of us that means that very soon that bugs of all sorts will be too . How many have already or are thinking about front grill guards ? Here is my argument if favor. Who has done the installation themselves and how was the experience ?

Well that too but 99% of these are horse/cariboo/moose/bison fly hybrids ! They all accumulated over a distance of about 350 km in a single trip.

If he also hit a rabbit would he then name his vette bugs bunny?

It’s actually the front of my truck. There were probably 25 or 30 dead ones sitting on top of the engine cover as well. It was like the seven plagues all over again.

Get a C8 bra, or make one out of mosquito netting, for bug season.
Easier than installing another layer of bug shredding metal in front of the rads, and it might be washable depending on what sort of "bra" material and fit you come up with.

Even a piece of window screen and some small zip ties will get the job done. Never have been a fan of those “ bras “ from an appearance standpoint. Come to think of it I’ve never been a fan of bras period….

I don't like them either, but they'd solve your bug bloom problem.
Your choice.
btw, Corvette prices in Canada (may have) just jumped by 25%, thanks to Carney's "retaliatory tariffs".

Aren’t we happy that we already have ours ? I feel for those that are just now ordering theirs . As for the bugs that amount of them usually only occur for a week or so it seems when they first come around in early summer thank the gods. The ceramic coating really does help with cleaning the painted surfaces but doesn’t do squat obviously for the condenser fins .
