- Take a look at Lisa and her install of the Radiator Grille Store (RGS) radiator grilles on her 2022 Amplify Orange C8 Corvette! You can find these products and more at www.RadiatorGrilleStore.com Next she will install her duckbill spoiler!
Great video, just did both my grills this afternoon. Took 20 minutes aside, so easy, no need to do anything but zip ties on.
Great job! Sad that Chevrolet didn’t make that standard. Several buyers have had radiator issues.
I must say that at least the price seems to be okay. Seen one place wanting like 250 or 350. I quickly looked up where I can buy hex abs at and I can get a fairly large sheet for less then $50 bucks. So, I find the RGS price is likely not a massive price gouge.
Absolutely, we reduce the development time and effort that goes into someone starting from scratch. We do most of the hard work, and have a mechanic install them quickly or DIY.
Great video
Great job Girl
Wow! Love the color!!!
I don't have a c8, but damn.. Nothing like a beautiful woman working on a vette.
Good Grief! Folks, please mic the talent!
Would also like to add that the holes seem large enough to let some direct hits still pass through of the small road pebble debris. Has there been any like before and after photos between installed and like $1000 miles? It'd be interesting to see how much it prevents as the small pebbles still getting through. Perhaps it deflects and slows down most of them though
Great question! As we are balancing air flow vs protection. We are using the principle of the good ole physics equitation Force = Mass x Acceleration to reduce the size of object (Mass) at typical speeds (Acceleration) to reduce the impact (Force). We will not, and should not as that impedes airflow, stop all, but we try to stop the large objects that would cause damage.
@@radiatorgrillestore interesting, having grew up in the world of dirt track racing, cars would use good old screen material like what you might find in window in front of there massive radiators. Which they could chuck as they become dirty with bugs, dirt, debris. Seems like a lot of extra physics info that is not really needed to address hole size, no one is saying block airflow. It's a mere observation that some are using smaller dia openings and no I do not think that it's so small that it's going to stop forced air from the front of the car from hitting the small radiators. however, I do wonder about the turbulence behind these and giving the small radiators clean air that is passing through more efficiently the small radiators. Any thoughts on the introduction of turbulence by adding an additional layer for air to pass through.
@@TheMustangStampede We actually have these screens which are similar in size (14mm x 7mm) to the aluminum versions ( 7mm x 7mm) we carry which are the same diameter as the OEM rear heat diffuser material that come stock on these cars.
@@radiatorgrillestore that seems like those would prevent some of the smaller stuff
That looks great , I ordered a C8 9 mo's ago still waiting. May consider this grill , But another question I have sensitivity with wireless I can not sit with a couple feet of a wifi router for too long so I really don't want wifi in my C8 I have been able to disable wifi n other wireless in a 2020 Camaro thru the infotainment screen however their telling me that may not be possible in the C8 or other new 2022 cars so my question is can it be disabled other ways , such as going into the dash and taking out the wifi box or disconnected the wifi cables ?
Thanx So much for any info or advice
no such thing as wifi sensitivity ya whack a doo, your c8 has wireless wifi hot spot you know? runs even if you don't pay for it, always.
I think 2023 c8's are different. I have been putting in the side grills for 8 hours and can't get them right
No change in the 2023. Are you heating them up according to the instructions? You are talking about the side intake grilles correct? Are you looking at the PDF instructions at the website? www.radiatorgrillstore.com/_files/ugd/f13388_3e63e08e679c4a9eb769ecc7ec642902.pdf
@@radiatorgrillestore yes to all the above. Seems like the notches and where they line up and how far you can push them in etc just don't seem to be as easy as the front. Still love the product it looks amazing
@@VicTSlots Give us a call, happy to walk you through it. No changes through the years.
@@radiatorgrillestore I did get them installed. The front 4 were fairly easy other than trying to hide the zip ties. Lol. I do still like the product and will like your description and info when I get the video up
Did you put ties in the middle grills
We put two in there for the Z51 cars, base cars fit pretty tightly without cable ties.
👍
What side goes out?
What side of the mesh screen? The pretty side ;)
@@radiatorgrillestore cool video ♤
You must have small hands you cannot even get your hand behind the grill guard to put the zip tie in not if you have a good size, hands no way a big to do everything else was easy except the zip tie part was the hardest part. Ridiculous.
