Made some vent screens for th 2015 rg. Didn't want to spend the money and was thinking diy project. Cant be that hard right. Went to lowes and found some shiny metal by the outdoor grill s. The metal is used to cook on. It very thin. Think I paid $4.50. Made a copy of a friend s screen he ordered. But later on took my time cutting the edges. Here are some pic.

that's pretty cool but I would go one step further if you haven't already. I would go the auto parts store and by some rubber door trim to run around the outside edges of your screen so it doesn't scratch up the sides of the vent housing. Also, like someone else mentioned they would look good black.

Now all we need is for someone to post a template so all us cheap asses can print it out and make our own. I like the idea of the door trim around it. So would you have to make it a little smaller to accommodate for the size of the trim?

I made one of those also. Just haven't perfected it yet. Basically take your material, leave it about 1/2" long at the top and then roll the excess into the vent. Some double stick 3m emblem tape will keep the top from moving. The bottom fits in between the vent "cap" and the inner fairing.

Oh it's installed and not moving anywhere. I'm just not real crazy about my capabilities and patience to get that top edge to follow the curve of the scoop. I knocked this out in about an hour one night after I figured out how I need to do it.
