Hi, I have just joined your forum today and enjoyed reading lots of the comments. I have just purchased a 2012 RT Limited Edition (used) and noticed on the right lower side, there is no honeycomb grill covering an opening which looks through to the fan. There is a grill on the opposite side. I had not noticed this was missing when I first bought the Spyder and assumed I had lost it on a bumpy road I travelled recently. So I called the local dealer and was advised that it does not come with one??? Anyone else noticed theirs missing? Just curious...I will stop in at the dealer and check out their floor machines. Thanks' Bob

:welcome: & :congrats:

I will save you the task of doing a search... but yes, the honeycomb grill on the right side is not there RT 2010-2013. One vendor (kewlmetal) here sells a similar one, and it will make it's OEM apperance for the 2014 (according to reports).

:welcome: You have passed the first quiz as a new :spyder2: owner. All the :ani29:'s from day one have never had a right side grill. They say it is to improve air circulation.

When I first bought my 2008 I took a stealth trip back to my dealer to check out the other ones on the floor. No grills either.

Enjoy the site. :thumbup:

Welcome to the group, I asked the same question to my dealer just after I bought my RT. I guess we are not alone, most owners ask the same question when they really start looking at their new Spyder!
