Hi everyone,

dumb question but...

I wanted to ask those with the mike-t lower grill if it has decreased the damage to their radiators? There is a lot of road construction to and from work so lots of rocks and debris is hitting the raditor, and I am wonderiing if the grill protects or is it just for cosmetic looks?

Nothing's getting through it if that's what you mean. The mesh is pretty fine so most of the stuff will be bouncing off the grill. I've pulled feathers and stuff off of it that would have been jammed in the radiator fins.

Yeah - they act as a much finer "filter" than the OEM grilles... flexible too! ;)
