CF rad panel

Anyone know where to get one? I searched and can't find anything. I only found one that gave me some info but it was about 6 years old.

make a cardboard one, and take it to some composite places, see how much to recreate it.

wow $79.99 that's a steal

Corksport makes a FRP one for $60 (and i think it would fit a little better)

Gotta love the Corksport logo. I probably would've bought their shroud and rad panel already if they didn't have that logo on it, just looks unappealing.

just make one your self. I did using alumninm sheet, and some paint. cost about $15.

1. used cartboad and cut desired shape,
2. cut the aluminum sheet to match desired shape.
3. install for fitment.
4. paint and install.

took me about 2 hours. you can do it too.

got a cf one from aeroworks ( the retrospec link) just a few days ago, for the price it was worth it, fitment is good, easy as heck to install and it covers up all that nasty junk in the front, i like it!

I'm still getting the Corksport one. I think they deserve our business a lot more than "Aeroworks"

good man!


the glass ones are all flat and smooth, I have a fake CF one on my vert, but the aluminum one on my coupe is much different then a flat aluminum sheet

you can see the aluminum one has a lip, if this works any better then a flat one who knows?

this is what i was planning on doing as well as a custom air box that i want to make as well. just need some templates that's if you guys have them? i just might take the time to make them out of card board first then cut them out of aluminum
