Default Vent screens installed *pics*

I went to "Funfest" on Saturday and they were offering 10% off and free installation. I was wanting black, but they only had them in the polished stainless. I'm pleased with the look and the fit/quality is superb. Total cost...$80.00.

No offense intended but, while IMO side vent screens don't add to the appearance of the C6, these are the first I've seen that actually detract from it.

No offense taken - I wanted some feed-back, so I appreciate your input. I'm with you on the look of them - sometimes I think they look great, then I look at them and I think they look terrible. I can always remove them and use them for grating my cheese. In fact I tried that already and they work great............

As long as you like them, then all is good. Sounds like a good price with installation included.

Looks good...

I like the black ones.

They have more holes for more air flow.

I picked them up at Mid-America. www.madvet.com

I might be able to find you a good deal on a set.

At least you have a good sense of humor, but I agree they really dont look that good.

It's your taste...
Not impressed by the Mercado product that some rave about.
Maybe the grille that fits behind the stock grille is acceptable, but I really felt the round hole grille that installs in front of the stock grille leaves a great deal to be desired. Mine didn't fit right, had a poor and thin profile rubber "frame" and didn't fill the opening.
