Been to Euro once at a friends request. I'm not really into car shows or lots of people so I don't know much about the local car scene.
Welcome to the valley all kinds of stuff in the air!:lol

Right you are, Ed. After changing over to the later style, only on the hottest track days does the engine temp really start climbing. I have seen this piece the GT Guys have created and it is quite good, and a breeze to install. I think it is a great option for general driving. Now I probably can't get anything for my original early '05 slightly used grille.
Good pics John.

Front screen
Thank you to all for the kind words. We thought this would be a nice piece for a person that wanted to keep the road debris out of the cooling module and give them the option to easily remove it to track the car for better cooling. The early 05' cars had this screen material as the actual screen but through testing it was proven that the screen blocked a fair amount of air flow. This is why they changed to the 3 column grille that is on most of the cars today. Actually you can't even buy the early 05' grille anymore as this was a running change and the part was replaced. If you look close the hex pattern is the same pattern as the screens in the clamshell air intakes and the side scoops. As far as install and removal all you have to do is clean off the front of the condensor (if you want to), remove the 3 T27 torx screws the go straight up, hook the new screen over the bottom of the old one, rotate up, and reinstall the 3 torx screws. No need to remove the fascia as this piece goes directly over the top of the existing one. If one wanted to they could put some tape or thin felt inbetween the two to avoid damage but we haven't seen any when we have removed them for inspection. They are hand built just like our rear bumper delete screen and powdercoated to match the original grill. I have attached 2 pics to show the one we installed on Shelby18's car and one of just the screen. When it is installed you can't even tell it is a seperate piece.
We were planning on selling these for $450 plus shipping. If you are interested please send me an email at richbrooks@thegtguy.com. We are building another batch and they should be ready to ship out in the next few weeks.

OK, Mr. WiseGuy Rich, so does it fit an '05 (with current grill), or not? Please, no engineering answers, just a simple yes or no.

You have to excuse poor old Dr. Frank. He doesn't like any complicated (technical) language. Jest, yep's and noooo's for him. Keep it simple.
Just like he learned all that simple stuff in medical school.
Frank, jest send him yur money and Rich will make it work for your 05.....
