American Car Craft C5 Corvette Laser Mesh Rear Bumper Grilles
American Car Craft 032022 Laser Mesh Rear Bumper Grilles add polished, diamond-cut stainless detail inside the rear-bumper vents of the 1997–2004 C5 Corvette, including the fixed-roof coupe and 2001–2004 Z06. Sold as a two-piece set, these inserts use a crossing diamond pattern rather than the round perforations found on the alternative perforated rear grilles.
Laser Mesh creates a different visual rhythm across the C5’s long, narrow rear openings. The polished diagonal lines stand out against the dark space behind the bumper, making this a focused choice for a car with other diamond-mesh accents. The aim is a coordinated rear view, not a change to the exhaust or the bumper’s basic shape.
Product Details
- American Car Craft part number 032022.
- Two stainless steel rear-bumper vent grilles.
- High-polished finish with diamond-cut Laser Mesh pattern.
- Attachment tape and two adhesive-promoter packs for mounting.
- Installation from behind the rear-bumper vent openings.
- Made in the USA.
Benefits
The diamond pattern gives the rear vents a distinct texture that remains recognizable in close-up photographs. Buying the matching pair keeps the two sides consistent. The polished finish adds bright detail around the lower rear fascia while leaving the appearance of the surrounding painted bumper visible.
For an exterior built around laser mesh, pattern choice matters as much as finish. A polished round-hole grille and polished diamond mesh may share a similar shine but will not look identical. Use the detailed installed views to compare the diagonal pattern with the accessories already on your Corvette before choosing the set.
Choose this set for a street-driven or show-focused C5 with a polished diamond-mesh styling theme. Its distinctive detail is the visible polished finish and diamond pattern within the rear vents.
Important Notes
Order 032022 for Laser Mesh, not the perforated version. This set fits the rear bumper; it is not a front-fender vent kit or a complete exhaust-filler panel. The full-vehicle photo shows the grilles in context, and the other trim, taillight accessories and exhaust components shown are not included.
The installation procedure starts behind the bumper openings. Thoroughly clean and prepare the upper and lower attachment areas, check the grille’s contour and practice placing it before peeling the tape liner. Follow the supplied instructions for final attachment. Because the work includes preparation and access to the inner bumper, plan the installation around the actual condition of your car instead of assuming a fixed completion time.
Confirm the vent shape if your Corvette has an aftermarket rear bumper or modified openings. Factory engine identification helps confirm your model, but these grilles are selected by body generation and mounting location, not by horsepower.
