    IF YOU DONT GET THE RADIATOR PROTECTORS WHAT IS THE COST TO REPLACE ALL THREE GRILLS. THE SIDE GRILLS SIDE OF CAR WOULDNT NEED A GRILLE BECAUSE IT ISNT LOW AND UP FRONT. WOW WHAT A JOB TO DO.🤢🤮...THE FACTORY SHOULD HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED THESE ITEMS INCLUDED WITH HIGH PRICE 🤑OF THIS CORVETTE OR AT LEAST OFFER GRILL PROTECTION AS OPTIONS ALREADY INSTALLED FROM FACTORY.

    Thx. I wasn’t aware of these potential problems. The radiator covers are great since I was concerned that the factory grills allow a bird get sucked up in there. Yea like a jet intake killing a bunch of birds. That’s all we need some aviary conservation starting to complain about our C8s. The shock tower situation is a actually pretty serious. If not for the first owner definitely for future owners and repair shops.Yipes! Once again thank you 😊

    Chief Corvette engineer said not to use the grill covers, as they reduce cooling, and if the DCT has issues as a result, GM might not cover it under warranty.

      I did talk to my local dealer's Corvette tech this week, and he said to go ahead and install them if I am not tracking it... He said the front ones that are prone to damage, and protecting them with a mesh screen that isn't too small, would be fine.

    These are the first mods I did for the grills last July. The passenger side grill was easy as hell but to this date I still have yet to get the drivers side in. I’m not so concerned with that one since there is a OE grill tucked in way back up in there. I did make templates of all the grills just in case and I may make one for the drivers side that’s a little more pliable. The strut tower covers I did that mod back in December. I saw where you had some water in yours in a previous video and meant to tell you about the covers but it slipped me.

      @radiatorgrillestore 3 роки тому

      Thanks for checking us out! Yes that is the standard legalese for off road performance products. The language actually is pointing toward a performance part. The other section you are looking at is actually speaking to legalese of warranties of material. We actually warranty all products from material defects. Ask any customers who have called us, we go out of our way to help with install, ordering and after sale service. We would be happy to chat on the phone about the product or just chat about cars. We are car guys!

    • @RWDC8Z
      @RWDC8Z  3 роки тому +1

      I had a great experience with the product. I think it’s just legal stuff they have to do. At the end of the day it’s nothing mechanical. It’s just an ABS plastic screen. So not much to warranty to be honest. Thanks for watching!

    The grilles look great. My concern would be -- how much does it disrupt the airflow. I have some pre-fab front mounted grilles. Having an aviatiion background when I first held them and looked at them I could tell there was some engineering that went into them. At high speeds I can't help but feel the ones you've mounted are going to create a fair amount of turbulence.
