Sweet... just checked it out on their website... do you think that the bumper will have to be removed? I had to remove the bumper when I installed the oil cooler screens

Just ordered mine.
No, you do not need to remove the bumper. Just jack up the car to be able to reach it.

I think you will find that you must remove the front nose in order to install the A/C condensor screen. Either that or you'll have to remove the underbody panel which is just about as much of a pain. And I doubt if you can even do it that way.

Yeah, I think your correct. I forgot about that underbody plastic piece.

If I had my pick between having to remove the bumper or the underbody panel; I'd pick the bumper, much easier and faster to remove.
I'm sure racing beat will include directions on how to install it and what to remove.
I had to remove that underbody piece to install my front sway bar, took me awhile.

RB did include good installation instructions with the oil cooler grids and will probably do the same with the condensor grid.

On the front sway bar. Did you try to manouever the bar out without removing the underbody panel? What did the install instructions say about that? I'm getting the RB bars and would rather not remove the panel as you can appreciate.

I installed my RB front bar on a lift and did not need to remove the underbody panel.

Go48, PM'ed you.
Also, they were the MS bars and no instuctions were included.

I received RB condenser screen today. It installed in about 15 minutes with just a 10mm wrench and a phillips. As usual the instructions are excellent. I installed the mounting brackets reaching through the opening in the bumper then pulled just enough bolts from the splash pan to slide in the screen. Since I already had the oil cooler screens there was no need to pull the bumper again. I highly recommend this screen. At 21k my condenser has already taken quite a few hits. I can see how easy it would be to puncture the condenser.
