Default Re: Radiator Stone Guards???

I didn't like the looks of it, but I bought it because I just purchased a new radiator, now that its on the car it looks fine, don't buy the cheap one from Speedway, I was told you have to drill holes in the shell to install.

If any birds strike my rad, let them at least be game birds. Here in my state, any game that you kill with your car is yours, including deer, bear, elk, ducks, geese, quail, turkey, etc.

I just installed the cheap one from Speedway. No drilling required. Cutting a notch in the rubber grommet for the headlight wiring cable is necessary though. There's a sort of "J" shaped bracket that fits in the hole that's already in the shell where the grommet is located. I might post a photo tomorrow.

I bought "The Cheap One" from Speedway and it has been on my car for 3 years. Easy to install, no drilling, and still nice and shiny stainless steel.
