The protection system includes at least one net with a first pair of opposite sides and a second pair of opposite sides. The at least one net is deployed over at least one heat exchanger core to cover at least a portion of the at least one heat exchanger core, wherein the at least one net is mounted to either one of a pair of side plates of the at least one heat exchanger core and a pair of headers of the heat exchanger by means of a plurality of engagement elements to deploy the at least one net over the at least one heat exchanger core.

Disclosed is a lighting apparatus and a method of manufacturing the same, which may improve an external appearance and marketability, the apparatus including a light transmissive lighting cover configured to transmit light through a first surface and a second surface thereof, and an LED module having an LED mounted on the second surface of the light transmissive lighting cover to emit light, wherein the light transmissive lighting cover includes a design pattern portion formed by the transmission of the light when the LED is turned on, a painted portion formed on the first surface of the light transmissive lighting cover, the painted surface being visible, in response to the LED being turned off, and a metal deposition surface formed on the painted portion.

A front grille includes a plurality of grille elements arranged in a vehicle width direction and in a vertical direction so as to form a mesh pattern, and each of the plurality of grille elements includes a pair of longitudinal walls extending along the vertical direction and separated from each other in the vehicle width direction, and a lateral wall for connecting lower ends of the pair of the longitudinal walls to each other. The lateral wall has a forwardly descending inclination with a front end being located lower than a rear end.

A grille assembly for a vehicle is disclosed and includes a forward frame portion, an aft frame portion, and a plurality of spring portions coupling the forward frame portion to the aft frame portion such that the forward frame is movable relative to the aft frame portion. A front end assembly for a vehicle is also disclosed that includes a bolster assembly and an active grille shutter system supported relative to the bolster assembly. The disclosed active grille shutter system includes a plurality of spring portions coupling forward and aft frame portions such that the forward frame is movable relative to the aft frame. Vanes are supported by at least one of the forward and aft frame portions and are rotatable for controlling airflow.

An air flap arrangement including an air flap carrier with an air outlet opening, where at the air flap carrier there are mounted movably a plurality of air flaps which project into the air outlet opening, where each air flap is adjustable between a blocked operating position and an opened operating position, where each two air flaps directly adjacent in the sequential direction are linked by one linking component for joint movement, where the air flap arrangement having a movement drive which is linked with a driving air flap for the transmission of driving force, where a first operating position out of the blocked operating position and the opened operating position is defined by a first end-stop arrangement which during specified normal operation impedes movement beyond the first operating position of a first control air flap arranged at a distance from the driving air flap for changing the flow-through cross-sectional area of the air outlet opening; only the first control air flap directly and a first group of air flaps, including the driving air flap and the intermediate air flaps which connect the driving air flap and the first control air flap with one another through linking components indirectly, are impeded by the first end-stop arrangement in their movement beyond the first operating position.

A method of multi-shot injection molding of a decorative part for a front-end of a vehicle includes performing a first injection molding shot of a transparent plastic material to form an A-side portion of the decorative part and performing a second injection molding shot of an opaque elastomeric material for form a B-side portion of the decorative part.
