I believe the GTG offers one. What about an OEM unit?

Don't forget installation for an OEM unit is a pretty involved project.

OEM is pricey

ONLY the early 2005 model had the radiator/condensor stone/bug screen. now OBSOLETE.
GTG does have the screen. honeycomb style. matches perfect. easy install ... I believe 3 screws. = not "cheap"

Tim Cantwell had an innovated "cheap" diamond shape solution. PM him, he is in Ohio too.

The original '05 screen has been obsolete for years already. If you wreck your car, it gets replaced with an '06 front without screen. The GT Guys have a very nice unit; however, my SpeedLingerie front bra has an excellent bug screen on it.

I've installed the GT Guys' bug screen. Looks OEM, and an easy, five-minute install.

I think GEE TEE installed a bug screen. You might solicit his opinion.

Me too, It always looked as if something was missing before.

No bugs in California. I took the screen off on my '05. It runs cooler on the track.

PS Lots of bugs in Texas though!

I have seen a picture that contradict your statement! Nothing a few days with a dental pick couldn't solve. :lol

I think those bugs were from out of state though.

Should I post it?

Sorry, Jim - I'm keeping the screen in case I move to Alaska or something. If you need more stickers let me know. Don't foget the beer you owe me!

Black Ice - those bugs are from Texas in our photo & are now gone. A toothbrush was the answer!

The favorite preventive tool of a dentist! I guess it also works to get the bugs out of my teeth when I bicycle through a cloud of gnats! :ack
