Good answer.... that is what the panel was designed to do... to channel the airflow directly to the radiator.. aluminum is lighter than steel at this thickness and plus when polished it looks great...

The persons who ordered and paid for their panels... they will be on their way this week... had a bit of trouble with the waterjet and we had to replace a very expensive part that made it in today...

thanks for your patience...

Erm,.. what the heck are these even for? Ive never understood it, anyone have pics before its installed? On my car there are allready nicely curved factory plastic pieces below the relays that completely seal off the radiator areas. I dont however have an overflow bottle in the front of my car as its an early build. Did mazda Change the overflow location over night and just never made new plastic pieces or soemthing?

they may be made out of FRP instead of alum, but a rad panel is a rad panel, and it does the job, and looks nice at the same time.

I measured out a card template then cut it out of .9mm aluminium(freebie from my mate) using a jigsaw, holesaw, drill and a file. I put the sticker on there that I got with my coilovers. Straight bolt on except I heated the overflow bottle with a heat gun and bent the front edge lower so the panel would sit flatter.

Total cost: $0.00 Time spent: probably 2 hours or more, off and on. Difficulty: easy

there is truth in the statement you replied to, i waited on my panel from corksport for about 6 months. No need to jump on his case.

His comment seemed universal and Corksport is one of the few companies that has always treated me well. So I was a little hasty.

I had a few issues with shipping and lengthy wait times from Corksport, but I would still order from them though.
