- In this episode Edward and I install the first 2 of 3 modifications that all C8 Corvette owners should do right after they purchase their car. You will have to SUBSCRIBE to the channel and turn on notifications so you don't miss out on part 2 to find out what the mystery third modification is!
In this video we install front radiator mesh grill guards that I purchased on eBay to protect and hide all the pesky rock chips that start to make the front radiators look like crap and a set of side air intake guards I purchased from Paragon Performance to make sure nothing gets sucked into the engine. Just a couple of general protection modifications to help protect you!
We hope you enjoy the video, thank you for watching!
Modification #1 - Front Radiator Mesh Grill Guards

Came here to say, new C8 owner but this video is actually pretty funny. You gents get a sub! Good work!
John - Thanks so much for the sub! We are trying to do how-to videos that are not so boring and have a little fun! Thanks for getting it. If there is a C8 mod video you would like to see, let me know! We have a bunch planned.
I would put ceramic brake pads on the list with a Z51 model.
I will definitely think about that one. Thanks for Watching...
I e got the radiator guards ordered for both of our C8s. Great video, you guys are fun!
Thank you so much for watching, if you like C8 videos, please consider subscribing, I have a few more planned coming up.
I love your mechanic his attitude is awesome!
Edward is incredible to work with, he knows a crap load of stuff. I am constantly learning something. Thanks for watching, if you didn't already subscribe to the channel, please consider it! Have a great day.
You need the strut tower caps to keep water from collecting in the webbing. Paragon also has the light blades for the front which completely changes the look of the car for the better
I will definitely go look at those! Thanks for the suggestions and watching.
You should have used the radiator guards from Paragon. The are fastened in with screws and not the shoddy zip ties. Paragon guards are much more professional installation.
I would agree with you, I did not find Paragon, till after I bought the front mesh grills. Will most likely swap these out an go with Paragon before summer hits. Thanks for watching and the feedback.
I got mine from Paragon Perf. and I agreed. Their grills have clips and nuts & bolts instead of zip ties. And it looks much professional.
Woah! You need to toss those grill guards. Chevy was very concerned about adequate air flow to those radiators which is why the OEM grills have giant holes. Chevy does now approve of Paragon's grill guards but if you compare them with yours you'll see why. According to Chevy yours are going to toast your transmission. They look super restrictive. Worst I've seen.
I have definitely learned from everyone's feedback and have ordered some new ones. Thanks for the feedback and watching.
Any overheating problems with the mesh? I know GM/Chevrolet has some they approve of. Are these listed as the same?
I have had no overheating problems yet! We will see in the Texas summer heat coming up. These are not a specific brand on GM/Chevy's list that I know of.
ScrapeArmor are the GM approved ones. They are less restrictive than the ones that are being installed in this video.
The ones shown on this video are junk. Stay away from anything that isn't an open mesh style. These plastic junk ones are way too restrictive and you'll have cooling issues. Many on the market that are sooooo much better.
Seems a little air restrictive with the grill guards.
It probably will be, I will probably switch them out for something a little less restrictive before summer! Thanks for watching
Those are the worst front radiators/grill guards you can buy. I see an over heating issue coming soon. Get some good ones for cryin' out loud!
I will be crying when the car overheats! Thanks for the comment and advice!
This video was Pretty Useless to me first 4 things I did to my 2022 Corvette Stingray was 1. buy a Blue Attack air filter, 2. buy a Corsa Extreme catback, 3. get my Uniden R8 radar detector installed on my car thru a wire tap connection, 4. get the silver factory corvette wheels powder coated High gloss black metallic. and all this will end up costing me $1500 and I am geting it all installed Monday March 27th. Great Video guys it's just Not what I would have done with my car. ;) Peace~
We are doing an exhaust and wheels reveal coming up! Good Luck on your build! Thanks for watching either way.
@@midlifecarisis_ No problem Sir, Thanks for making Great Content on You Tube !!! Mark~;)
I did it on mine. And, sorry to say but I am very bad at installation, but I think I did a better job with the front grills than you.
Thanks for watching
