Default oops!

I was trying to adjust my fog lights and when trying to pry the screen out I broke it.
Now I have to get some new screens but I got a question. Are they all the same? Are there aftermarket ones or do you just have to get the factory kit?

In other words does it have a hole in it for the light to shine through or is it the solid one like on the Z06?

I got my replacement from Zip for the Z and it was OEM.....

They are like the factory Z screens, all screen with a black plastic housing. I will check Zip and see what they have.

The factory ones were over $100 a piece. I had mine painted black but had to touch them up all the time so I ordered the Racemesh which come powder coated black, they were about $140 for the pair. The only downside is that they take about 3 weeks to ship so I guess I'll have time to finish all my other projects by the time they get here.

You need to shop around for the best buy, you will find the price is all over, You don't need the black frame that some come with. Good luck.

Now's the time to change the look of them if you want. Check out some of the vendors or try Mid America, Corvette Central, Zip, Etc..
