Bugs and Other Stuff in Rad.....

Popped the hood on my 2010 F150 Screw to check fluid levels and noticed a few bugs and other debris in the rad. I have the Cromes package with the 6 horizontal bars.

Wondering if there is some kind of screen or other material that is functional, but still looks decent to keep airborne stuff out of the rad.

ANyoe have suggestions?

Either make your own, or buy this - it works:

That looks pretty good. Does it just attach at the bottom with mini-bungee tensioners like at the top?

I've got some grommets and screen sitting around and may try to make one.

I made my own bug screen for my 06 (pictured below). I paid $4 for the bug screen at Wally World,cut it to fit and attatched it with small wire ties. I'm going to fab one up for my 11 when it gets here.

Yes, the bottom also attaches with mini-bungee cords. I've used this thing for over a year and a half now.
