Can this protect a/c condenser for road debris?

Rhett · 05-13-2010, 04:05 PM

A couple of days ago, my a/c condenser was damaged from road debris like stone or small sized rock. So, I ordered a new one from Nissanpart4u. But, I am so worrying that the same situation would be happened.

All of 370z owners know that we don't have any protector not to damage the a/c condenser from road debris. Is there anything to protect a/c condenser from stone or something?

I found something from e-bay as belows

How is it? Do you think that this could protect a/c condenser?

Please, let me know anything to protect a/c condenser. Currentyl, I am so afraid and scary of driving with my z.

It would help but would look like crap.

Thanks for a comment. Any suggestion?

If you're really worried about it, go to a hardware store and pick up some stainless steel mesh... paint it black and mount it BEHIND the factory grille. To do this you'll have to remove the front bumper and/or undertray, but that's very simple.
