maybe its just me but it seems like the stock plastic ones would work a lot better than these panels, i mean, if you look at the stock one, it brings the air up and over the metal bar in between the headlights, while aftermarket panels like these shown seem to just trap the air under the panel around the coolant bottle... or no? this boggles my mind

7th heaven i think thats the whole point, so it dont go over the radiator, but through it, and the aftermarket ones dont let any air go over the top, you see my point

hmm, i coulda sworn i saw a panel in front of my radiator blocking the air flow... maybe im thinking of something else. either way they look great, i'm waiting for fc3s.org's carbon fiber one to go one sale. you drill holes in the panels and bolt it to the stock radiator panels holes?

White_Seven finished and shipped my custom panel on Thursday and it got here today!! Attached below is a pic of it on my floor, it's kinda hard to see the lettering with that ugly light blue carpet behind it, but you get the idea. I'll post another picture of it once i get it installed. The quality is top notch on this piece and I think it looks awesome!! Thanks for the help with the custom lettering and a kick *** final product White_Seven!

You're welcome and glad you got the panel so quickly (I didn't know the Post Office moved that fast, lol). Here's a couple pics of it before I sent it out.....

No problem at all. This font is pretty cool and is the font I will most likely be using on the future panels after I sell my last of the other font. Having the Mazda font as well will be sweet
