Does Racing Beat Condeser Screen Fit...

Hi,

I just ordered a new Silla RX-8 A/C Condenser from Autopartswarehouse.com. I want to protect this new condenser with a condenser screen from Racing Beat. The guy at Racing Beat told me to find out the exact dimensions of the Silla condenser because it is not OEM. I can't find the dimensions of the Silla unit and I even called Silla directly but they can't tell me the dimensions of their condenser...go figure. Can anyone tell me if I the Racing Beat screen will fit over a Silla condenser?

Thank you,
Dion.

no idea but it should fit fairly well. Even if it doesn't cover every tiny square inch, it's still better then NOT having a condensor screen.

Thanks for the help, I think I will go ahead and order the Racing Beat screen and hope it fits. For anyone else that needs a condenser, check the link below for the place I bought mine. It's a Silla A/C Condenser....cheapest on the internet (brand new) that I found. If you call them directly and ask they will give you an additional 10% off the already discounted price on their web page. I got mine for $142 new (includes tax and shipping). Silla is supposedly a reputable company, plus I have an 05' so I am at the point where I don't really care about OEM. I have a guy here in Miami that is going to Install it for me for $50 so that's a steal. Total cost including the condenser, screen, R34 freon and installation is about $306. Sounds like a great deal assuming the condenser blows cold air and the guy installing it does it properly lol. I will let you know how it goes when it is completed next week. thanks

The RB screen mounts on the stock condenser mounts so as long as those don't change you'll be fine!
