Radiator panel
 
Does anyone know where to get a cheap radiator panel? I found this one on ebay but feel it is way to much for a piece of sheet metal.

do a search on cr.net for garage star, i got a radiator shroud and a shroud for the high pressure zone between the engine bay and interior for 100$

Just make your own Cheech!!! It's not that hard, btw, where the fuck are you located? Maybe there is a Piedmont Plastics near you, pick up some ABS for fairly cheap, it looks good, works good, and is not that expensive and has many many uses...

Does moss still sell that $40 stainless one? That's what I run and it works fine.

DIY...I just made a really shitty/but still functional one out of a sheet of aluminum from HD. Take the plastic one thats on there now, trace it on the alum, and cut with some sheers or a dremel or whatever...It's easy, took all of 20min...Thought I saw a post on here recently someone did the same thing...but HIS looked nice

Personally, its just to hold me over till I do my ABS undertray...I'm using the leftover for this and possibly a fan shroud (research pending)

^^^^What he said, just DIY. I bought a small piece of sheet metal from home depot for like $6. I copied the plastic one already on the car and extended it like 2" back so it backs up against the radiator. I put some stickers on it so it doesn't look bad at all. Save yourself $100!

I just got the TDR one for my birthday from my ex. Looks super nice.

I don't know why everyone doesn't have one. It cleans up the engine bay like 500%, and they're functional.
