Yep, this mod is really a must do to protect the A/C condenser..

anyone still doing this?
i looked recently at a hardware store and lowes and product still there. hardware store had it in single sheet and in a pack
do the later models need the guard?

I had it on my 2011 LT, but took it off after I noticed the temp was running a couple of degrees warmer, only 2-3 F, but I was feeling picky that day.

CJ- starting in the 2008 model year GM began adding a plastic slotted cover on the lower condenser.. More of a joke than real protection, imo.. Mine came with it..

But shortly after, I added the world famous "Gutter-Guard grille" & it has paid for itself & then some by catching some road debris & preventing my GM plastic thingie to be tested..

Maybe you should have patented this idea of yours..
