Does anyone know a source for these anymore? CF or aluminum. I am just looking to see what's out there and prices.

Thanks.

 

are you talking about this??



annd if so, Im also interested

 

Yep. Thats the rad panel I'm talkin' about.

 

try corksport.com

 

^ Yah, I have had issues with Corksport in the past. That, and the $175 price tag, makes it a non-option. I meen, 175 for an aluminum sheet? Are they f'ing crazy?! Too bad that Preacher caracter was such a basket case. At least his were around $60.

Anyone else making these?

 

check ebay too, i've seen a couple on there that were cf

 

http://corksport.com/store/item/19n5...tor_Panel.html

that's cheap- $60
i didnt look at shipping tho

but anyways, I'm gonna check it out tomorrow

 

i've seen the Cf 1's on some site's can't remember tho, i was thinkin about picking 1 up for my t2.

 

They are on Ebay now, but make your own if you want to save some cash.

Wow. Can't believe I managed to overlook that on their site. That is more along the price margin I was talking about. Shipping is only $12 to N.Y.

I still can't get past the earlier issues I have had with Corksport though. If I could find a source for one in CF at a reasonable price, I would be stoked.

 

$80 for a CF panel is definitly within the budget. Thanks for the link! Funny, I searched a fiew days ago and came up with nada.

 

why dont you guys just make your own? i mean people will give you a piece of al that size for free all day long and you have the fun of building something yourself. i dont get it. why buy when you can build?

 

Don't mean to thread jack but I will anyways. Would some 1/4 in plexiglass work for this or is that gonna be to thick, weak or what not. Since I have a bunch of this material laying around and need something to do with it, what do you guys think to thick, not flexi enough or just the wrong stuff.

 

I wouldn't use that. I think it would crack to easy and would look like crap after a few months of wear. I used a thin sheet of metal and painted it black and I think it looks great.

 

what happeed at CS that made you so jaded?

 

I usually do build ALL of my own stuff. In fact I have 3 vehicles worth of my own customizing at my house right now. Unfortunatly, I don't have the time to make any parts right now. Hell, I even have the aluminum sheet in my basement left over from building the fuel cells for a fiew of my rides. But, to make a template, cut it out, test fit it, possibly trim it again, grind it smooth and then polish it, would take me the better part of a day. Either I spend $60- $90 dollars for one pre-made, or I loose $300 worth of a days salary. You do the math.
Besides the fact that I was leaning towards a nice CF one.

Not jaded, just wary. Long delays in receiving parts. Customer service with their heads up their a$$es. Difficulty in returning parts.
This was a long while ago, though. Hopfully they have gotten their acts together by now. However, their products are usually first rate. I even have their front and rear strut bars on my car now. Just don't want to deal with them directly anymore.

 

From what I've read after a while the CF panels tend to warp from the heat, might be something you want to look into....

As far the aluminum ones go I had this one I bought directly from SingalAuto
http://www.signalautousa.com/racopama.html

The quality and fitment was perfect and hell being singal auto its mad tyte jdm yo. But yeah it was a really nice rad panel and I felt it was well worth the 120 shipped or so I paid for it.

 

Good to know arkady151. Thanks for the info. The more I get, the better of an educated decision I can make.

 

Bump from way back. I kinda lost track of this. The guy who was selling the CF panels was kicked off of ebay. Anyone know of any other CF options?

 

I have a link at home for CF panels. I think they are $80 + shipping. I'll check it out when I get home.

I'm pretty sure thats what you guys are talking about. Shoot me a pm when you get it , I'd like some feedback since I want to purchase that , and a few dash peices for my 7 lemon.

 

+1... If I got a CF one, I'd still paint that bitch black. One or two CF pieces on a car is tacky as ****. Black always matches SOMETHING in an engine bay.

 

I have another question...how do these things mount?

 

Horizontally, with screws....... ?

 

Screws, pop rivets....I have even seen someone use quarter turn zeus fasteners for easy removal.
