Nice job Razi. Your mock up pics don't work though. Photobucket says they have been moved or deleted. I should add some pics of my lower cooling panel piece I made. This upper one did little for my running temps, but the lower one, worked like a charm. It keeps the airflow from slipping under the IC and Rad. due to the cut bumper (pignose). I don't have a scanner though, so not sure I could provide a template.

I like a nice title, I'm not sure that would fit though. Maybe "Other side of the pillow" if it doesn't fit.

Any pics of the panel painted and installed now that your boostin? the mock up looks good and beats the $100 price tag.

Side panels are installed.The middle panel was very very very slightly touching the hood and I didn't like that. It'll be adjusted and put back on.

Thank :D.

Also note to anyone thinking of making this. Not all cars are exactly the same, so some adjustments will have to be made as you install it.

Nice job Razi, I made one myself too. So much better than spending $100+.

Awesome job, you and your dad should start doing and making write ups for everything.

I can't wait to do this on my car since it's cheap, I'm broke, and I always have to tinker with something.

Haha, I got a clear protective bra write-up somewhere if you're interested in that also.Just click on my name and click on "Topics created by Razi" and search, should be in there somewhere.
