Radiator Cooling panels..
 
I'm looking for a radiator cooling panel.. mainly for looks and not for function..

Anyone know of a good one?? Can someone post pics of theirs?

Thanks!

Phil

no idea how it looks on an FD, but my friend has a DME on his 240sx. Its looks pretty clean.

I checked and apparently they don't have it in stock.. nor do they have any made.. Interesting.. I think they are gauging interest before getting them made.

8-10wks is what they told me..

FWIW, I looked at a few different ones strictly for cosmetics. But on my particular set-up (PFS SMIC w/PFS Intake), some didn't look like they'd fit.
I recently bought a used one. Covers far less than those linked above but doesn't interfere with the intake box or duct. Didn't pay alot, but still a little too much since the guy forgot to tell me it had some "custom" trimming. I guess it cleaned up alright. No clue about brand. I'll try to get a picture, maybe someone here will recognize it.

I have one on my FD. I got it from Signal Auto. You can see it in my pics on this site.

WOW that's a big pic, helped me see alot of stuff I didn't pay attention to. Yes sir you are correct. Carbing/Signal are exactly the same.

David...I'm glad I don't live near you. You'd get sick of me asking you to make stuff for me and I'd be broke all the time. :)

Just pack up and move on up here .More things are made here then has ever been posted .

David, your radiator panel looks awesome!

Quick question for your guys. How does the radiator panel function to increase air flow through the radiator? I'm interested in anything that keeps temperatures down.

Thanks for your input,
Chris

At least in my case, it's really only for cosmetics. No effect on cooling.
