When at work, I have may car in a parking garage. Well tonight went walking on the wrong floor which left me below the car. As I walked past it at "eye level." i decided to just look at the bottom front area since it was right in front of my face.

I could see the bottom of the radiator etc and notice the fins were a tad dented and that there is no protection for this. Do they make any type of screen/grill to install to keep road crap from smashing up the radiator?

gutter mesh seems to be the current fix around here for this. or get a grill that has a lower.

One of the very first mods I did. Lower billet grille. Cheap, looks good and protects a very expensive radiator.

the front visible part is the cooler for the AC, very expensive. where was gms head when designing it?

Yep, gutter mesh. Only takes a $3 mod to protect an $800 condenser. Also, only takes a few minutes to do.

haha, never would i do such a thing

i was being nice so he wouldnt expect to work on it to long

my 08 has a rubber/plastic cover thing (factory ?). i wonder if it is enough to really protect it ? for those looking to buy the lower grill only , i found one for $85 at autoanything , it is a street scene brand.
