I bought a newer style stock air cleaner to put on my 03. I saw where the front part of the cover can be removed and a screen put in its place but I cant remember where I saw it. Anyone seen this that can point me in the right direction??

BDM sells a louvered plate that looks good in the front of the air cleaners. Either contact Nelson on here or check on Ebay.

Yea I saw that one. But the one I had saw was more of a mesh type made by one of the aftermarket guys. Ive looked at so much stuff I cant remember where the hell I saw it.

I am also working on some polished stainless steel mesh grilles for the air cleaner that will look like the material in the Cadillac CTS-V. Should have them worked up soon.

I made the cover for my stock cover out of "hardware cloth" this is 1/4" wire mesh that is galvanized. Took off my factory cover and used it as a templete. The new material had a mill oil film so I cleaned it, sprayed it with red oxide primer and then a final coat of what is called bumper chrome spray paint. The hardware cloth is typically sold in 2' widths by the lineal foot. I think I paid about $4.00 for two sq ft of the stuff which will make a lot of covers. If you want one pm me with address and I'll send it.

I am doing mine all out of aluminum mesh now and want to do polished stainless so they look as close to chrome as possible without the issue with rust after a few chips.

I should have the polished stainless ones rolling by the weekend of the 16th and ready to ship. The material shipped out & already on it's way here. I'll post pics when I get some done. They should be just about the same price, unless I do the aluminum polished trim along the edge like I am planning to make it a bit more custom looking. :2thumbs:

Put me on the waiting list for one of those.!! I like the aluminum ones, but the polished stainless should look better.!!

I WANT ONE..!!!

Got some put together today. The aluminum trim, seens how it is extruded aluminum, doesn't polish as nice as I wanted (left screen). So I used some chrome edge molding and they look nice and keeps the price down where I can sell them the same price as the silver ones. Actually I'll be replacing the silver ones with these. The stainless mesh is very nice looking:
