looking for a product

Okay so I'm looking for this pannel I have seen that some people put just on the forword side of the radiator (up front) that keeps wind from coming up through where the hood lever is. I wanna make it myself because I have access to aluminum and I LOVE to fabricate. Anyways, so do any of you have this bad boy? Sorry for the drawn out explination

its called an air diversion plate and yes it should be fairly simply to make out of a sheet of aluminum.

You know companies like corksport make these, right? http://corksport.com/store/large/19n...tor_Panel.html

Start measuring things out, make a template out of cardboard, then cut your aluminum sheet. It should be pretty easy since there are no bends at all.

The car already has this in stock form. On each side of the hood latch is a plastic panel designed to bring airflow from the bumper to the rad.
