Mesh screens # 2

[MYNSX]

I ordered and installed the Dali mesh screens the sides look great "but" the center one is more practical than asthetic.In other words its mounted against the radiator vs' behind or in the back of the center opening .My question is has anyone attempted to alter it by fabricating it to fit against the back of the area I'm speaking of.

I was looking at my screens over the weekend and was thinking the same thing: it would be nice from a visual perspective if the center radiator screen were forward and in line with the A/C Condenser screens.

Count me in too. By the way, were the AC shields really as easy to install as the literature claims?

Yes it was easy.The only thing you need to do is remove "temperarily" the triangular brackets (one that attaches to the prop rod) then slip it down in front of the radiator and reassemble.The hardest part is making sure you dont drop the hood on your head or hands...
For some reason reguardless of which way I put it I had to trim it down about an 1 1/2" no big deal it was simple...

Thanks - Were the AC shields (not the radiator) as easy as they say?

I am assuming you mean the ones on the sides behind where I mounted my fog lights (and most people do).Yes the only thing I struggled w/ is that they were "behind" my foglights and so I cut a small "notch" low and centerof the screen to allow a loomed wire to pass through.You can not see this notch after they are installed.I did feel that the screens fit "tight" and after putting the two factory screws back in they very much look like a "perfect fit".This "tightness" might be attributed to by the fact that my entire car (all body panels glass etc.)was dis-assembled a week after I purchased it thus possibly not in the factory location which Dali has made his proto-types from.All said and done Dali has made a great effort and deserves an applause for the quality,fit and finish of any products I have purchased from him.Thats one reason why I return the favor by including him in my role call located on the side of my car along w/ a few others.

You could place a mesh screen (maybe even trim Dali's unit) in the back of the radiator inlet in the bumper, however, I believe the bumper would need to be removed from the car to accomplish this.

Cris,
thats what I was getting at .You "do" think the bumper has to come off??

------------------

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

Yes. The center bumper grill has one large horizontal stake and many vertical ones that would prevent slipping mesh back there.

You can purchase mesh screening from any AutoZone. I have yet to cut it to size though. My license plate housing would have to be cut out of the screen, but I am sure that it will look right. I also have the Dahli screens for the sides. Intalling them tomorrow along with the radiator screen.
