Grill screens.

[1000000to1]

Screened in my grill screens with a finer screen door mesh. Keeps rads from plugging up with bugs.

Protection on top of protection….Double protection.
Could it creat an overheating possibility?

did you have to take any parts off?? what kind did you buy?

So you are putting screens over your screens? My C8 is fine with just one condom.

It will when the bugs start filling the screen! lol

I’ll watch it. If it does they can be removed but was never an issue on my 6.2 Camaro.

Bugs still get through and plug the rads. This prevents that. I’ve done it on my vehicles for years.

Bugs won't fall off a screen that tight. Bugs on a rad are different than bugs on a screen in front of the rads. What's the R rating of bugs anyway?
Plus your Camaro was not rear engined with all the cooling challenges that creates.

Even GM is trying to make a buck on these screens- first saying that they weren’t necessary and could void the warranty, to now selling them!

They do fall off. I have several vehicles and all are screened in. If it’s a problem it’s easy to remove them. Rads do plug up here. My Camaro would be filled up with grasshoppers in the front rads and it’s a pain getting them out.

Time will tell.
maybe a mid-summer update would be welcomed.

You just contradicted yourself. They fall off but you also have to remove them. lol
Anyway, I've never been to Sask, so you know better than I about your situation.
My tractor has a tight screen. It gets clogged all the time and I have to clean it. The screen door on our sunroom that has air moving through it all the time, gets clogged up and I have to clean it. I've never had to clean a rad on any of my cars in my over 50 years of car ownership. I worry more about stones than bugs.

wondering if grill guards (from ACS) can be installed without raising the car at all???

I believe the grill guards from ACS are the Scrape Armour grill guards. I put them on myself and yes the front of the car will have to be raised or lifted to make the project “less frustrating”.

Less frustrating I get, but can they be installed without raising???

I would say no. But anything is possible….

I’d say you’d at least have to drive it up on some blocks. You only have about 5 inches of clearance. Sure it’s possible but would suck.

How do they attach to the existing grill?

Depends on which brand. Some use double sided tape. Some use zip ties etc.
