How to Install Paragon Performance Radiator Grill, Jack Pucks, Oil Cap, & Coolant Cap on C8 Corvette

[@rondail5675]

Great video! Thanks The only issue I think you missed is that those 'C' brackets are not all the same. There are 2 bent for left-side and 2 for the right-side. PITA to know which 2 for each side.

[@ninjahirodude658]

Paragon charges $375 for them.... I optioned those on during the ordering process. 8 more months to go :0

[@brianportner7581]

Those 3 bolts are a pain in the ass. Heading to harbor freight for a longer wrench

[@RWDC8Z]

😂 good luck brother!

[@FF-is8do]

Thanks for making this video, I would have never figured out how to install the front grills!!!

[@TheMagicman7577]

Love that green wrap, which brand and name is it?

[@RWDC8Z]

3m light gloss green

[@ronaretz8705]

You do a great job explaining how to install these aftermarket parts.

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks Ron!

[@tomivancic10]

Very thorough video on the installation good job

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks Tom!

I swear this guy must have built model cars as a kid LOL

[@RWDC8Z]

Never did lol

Can I ask what car jack you have? I wanna get one that works on the c8. Also, where do you position the jack stands after you lift it because if the jack is on the pad, then where do you put the stand?

[@RWDC8Z]

I got it from harbour freight. And I put the Jack stand where you’ll see a cut out in the rocker panel which has access to the frame.

[@jaytucker4827]

Great job Matt

[@reggyeadiemdmba3182]

Need to have my Paragon spacers installed. Can you help? I live in Clermont. Thx

[@RWDC8Z]

Get them installed?

[@dan.yesthatsme]

looks like the promocode is not valid anymore. 😞 but great video. thanks for going step by step.

[@tedschaefer9237]

If you install those and have a problem with the engine or transmission that GM determines was caused by overheating it will not be covered by warranty as stated by Tadge, the Chief Engineer for Corvette.

[@evanphotography5149]

you can always take them off before visiting the dealer if you ever have any problem.

[@ParagonPerformance]

We have track tested our grill guards. No overheating issues whatsoever.

[@craigjesso3976]

i notice u have the ATTACK BLUE PERFORMANCE FILTER from TKO Performance...is this similar to the AFE MAGNUM FLOW PRO 5R AIR FILTER from Paragon Performance

[@RWDC8Z]

I believe so but I’m not sure as I havnt messed around with afe air filter.

[@craigjesso3976]

@@RWDC8Z reason i ask is because its like half the price hahah

[@babeadams9351]

Looks OEM, the way GM should done. Would have been nice to see some indication on the caps.

[@tomivancic10]

I love the radiator guards but for $400 do you think they would include three new clips just saying🤷

[@RWDC8Z]

😂

[@nobark1]

What is the interior width of your garage? How far can you open the doors?

[@nobark1]

n/mind just realized it must be a 2 car garage

[@RWDC8Z]

Yeah it’s not that big of a garage

[@mavrk.d]

Is there anyway I could get Chevrolet to install the grille for me before I get it delivered?

[@SocalGT]

I had my dealer install them (along with the ACS Z51 wickers) during the PPI. No problem.

[@mavrk.d]

@@SocalGT sweet.

[@SocalGT]

@@dohabandit that was from the Birthday Bash at the NCM last month. The question was asked of Tadge and he did make the statement you mentioned. I would hope that just driving on the street would be ok. Tracking you car potentially not. I wish there would have been a follow up question regarding how the fins getting hit over time would affect the cooling. In that case is that on GM?

[@babeadams9351]

has anyone made the center protection screens

[@Motleymick]

when is the LT2 Procharger Supercharger coming?

[@jogehetty]

what happened with the plastics ones?

[@RWDC8Z]

They don’t look as nice as the powder coated ones

[@BEVO4884]

Another great and informative video. Unfortunately, for me, installation is not as easy as it looks. I read one of the comments below regarding dealer installation, but my dealer made it clear they will not install anything that is not a genuine GM part. Are you aware of any shops in S. Florida (or even the Tampa area) that does this kind of installation. Also, do you have any concern that the grills might lead to overheating issues, particularly when tracking the car?

[@danparsons181]

C&S corvette in Sarasota ask for Lyle. They really care about Corvettes

[@keithlowery9637]

Hi Matt. For your C8, do you experience any woofing or booming sound from air noise with the top down? I heard someone else state they have a woofing or booming sound on the C8 coupe with the targa top off.

[@RWDC8Z]

Nope, love driving with the top down!

[@Dan-md3hr]

Where did you get your merch made I would like to make some

[@williamturner3251]

Do the grill covers void the warranty?

[@RWDC8Z]

Nope

[@daveo7109]

Hey Matt, what about warranty void? Does it apply with these covers?

[@SocalGT]

No one knows that. Not until GM try’s to blame them for a transmission failure.

[@jamesmueller9819]

Just tried the Paragon Performance Promo Code and it says "Invalid Code". Was it only good for a certain time period?

[@RWDC8Z]

60 days… but reach out to them. Awesome company!

[@craigjesso3976]

Is the pucks universal with the c6 and c7. ???

[@-SP.]

Turn down the music, it's way too loud

[@speedshotzmedia]

First at 5 seconds😂😂😂

Anyone thinking about installing front grill covers might find this video helpful, 5 mins into the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIKYp6akqbxkbM0

[@ike2010]

Paragon is incredibly overpriced. They totally fleece their customers. Do some research before you purchase from them and you’ll find equal quality and value for 40-50% less cost.
