There is no grill on the right side. That is the way it is meant to be. You can buy an aftermarket set of grilles from spyderpops.com if you just can't live with it not matching.

No part missing, I thought that too and asked the dealer about it. The dealer said that most new owners ask that very question so you are not alone.

No restriction (grill) allows for more air flow!

Maybe..!!
They should add it to the manual..natural question seeing as there are grilles everywhere else..!!

I took the left side off on my RT and then both sides looked the same with marginal improvement in airflow.

It would be doing a new Spyder owner a service if the dealership pointed out that nothing is missing from the empty space on the RHS. I was caught out thinking I had lost the grill riding my new machine home from the dealership.

No. That is a BRP OEM grill.
Do you remember when BRP did the panel changeout for the oil filter access?
The left grill was replaced as part of that campaign. There were oodles of left grills available that the dealers could give away.
I reworked one so it would fit on the right side. Consequently, it is shaped and has the same contour as the left side grill.
Both Kewlmetal and ESI panels are flat.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Welcome to the growing membership in the "my right grill is missing" club. I am guessing most of us have asked that question. When I bought my new 2008, I took a special "stealth" visit to my dealer to check out the other Spyders. This was in order to make sure they did not have grills on the right side.
that it would not hurt to put the information in the manual--for those that read it, of course. Or, when the vehicle is delivered, make it a part of the "show the new " introduction.

Not Missing part.
After that many responses it makes us newbies feel good that there are that people out there willing to take time to explain things to us. And not make us feel stupid. But akspyderman mentioned the dealer explaining things to you when he delivered it to you. I don't seem to remember anything about that. Unless they explain it to the original buyer that full fills that obligation I think.
