2020/21 radiator grills

[PW2013STL]

In my efforts to keep the radiators as clean as possible I purchased and installed a set of SprderPops K.O.T.T. covers. I also put a thin fiberglass furnace filter between the KOTT ang OEM screen.
Just returned from our AZ home to our TN home. (1900 miles) and we hit a lot of grasshoppers along the way. The KOTT screen stopped a fair number, but a lot got pass. The filter got those before the radiator.
I had just placed the filter material in loose so on the left side it dropped down and a complete grasshopper was stuck against the oem screen. I plan to attach the replacement filters to the KOTT screens using zip ties to see if that will work better.

Don't it suck having to do R+D for a multimillion dollar company?

This is what I purchase as I also use it on my wife's F3, and I cut to fit each.

Looks like your solution to the bug problem would significantly restrict the air flow to the radiators. Do you notice that your fan comes on faster or that you are running at a higher temperature?

The filter itself is the least restrictive I could find. We have been using them for over two years and 40,000+ miles. Have not noticed the fans coming on sooner, or staying on longer except when they get packed with crud. Even packed the Spyders have never overheated and we have driven them in 100+ weather.
