Am I the first to buy a $1,600 rock?

That’s the exact reason I ended up buying it from Stradale. I was looking to Zunsport but covering the “pillars” did not work for me. Hope it provides some protection…

I order this week after reading the horror stories, and just noticed that it should be to my home on Friday in California.

Was shocked at how quickly they sent mine despite shipping being free. It was basically 2 day air from UK to US Midwest.

Then again, they’re probably getting a huge profit margin on these, but it was still a nice surprise to get them so fast from across the pond.

Fwiw - both side radiators on my car (auto) have a plastic grille on them. I installed the ZunSport grilles as extra protection. The center radiator obviously has no protection and mine already as more than a handful of rock stikes/damaged fins at 1,350 miles.

I examined the plastic grills when my radiator was out. You can easily spread the fins with your finger. Any rock strike will just slide the plastic grill to the side. I'm not even sure why it's there.

Just curious if any that brought any mesh/grills protectors has received a big hit or total damage of the grid. Mine (Stradale Design) has been just fine, no sign of any hits/damage.
