Gen II Radiator Guards

Just a tip here, as you can see from photo #2, I cut away all the plastic cross bars from the stock cover. This leaves you basically a frame to mount to and allows for maximum airflow to the radiator. Not totally necessary but I recommend it.

Note,the side edging for installation purpose pinches the stock piece and the new guard. This is important, it eliminates any vibration and really snugs the entire kit up.

Here are views from the back and a before and after of removing the old plastic cross members.

Any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Where do I use the zip ties?

** EDIT** NM, I see in your handy written instructions that it should go in top and bottom center. :)
 
Alright a little bump here, since we did not get a full month at the $43.50 price on this board, I'll honor it until March 31.

$43.50 shipped any color

email me at [email protected] if interested.

Thanks guys

Joe
 
Yeah, the gold really matches the 08 wheels almost perfect. The forks are brighter and a difficult match being so close to the guard.
 
Installed mine! Thanks Joe!!!

Obligatory shot after the install. I did not remove the two vertical plastic braces as well as two of the pieces in the middle of those two uprights. This keeps the new guard from ever touching the radiator in the event something large nails that new grill!
