Jimmy,

This will prevent that little problem! RADIATOR SCREEN

I have purchased items from here and the service is awsome. He is a multivette owner selling Vette parts from his home on EBAY.

The C4 cars suffer from the same idiocy...nothing there to keep trash out of the front. Mama had a plastic sack wrapped around the pusher fan on the '85 once, too...
The same metal cloth-type screen will work on the C4s, too. You can also go buy the screen/cloth at da local hardware store, and DIY.
