Cooling panel

anyone know who makes a good radiator cooling panel? I done some search, and only found one made by carbing. I tried to search, but some post were too old and the pics did not show up.

Thanks Eddie

i am in the process of having some fabricated, will be for sale at the end of January. Should be around $100 for grade a aluminum and will be offering a carbon fiber version as well.

I have the carbing cooling panel with a carbon fiber add on piece extended to the radiator (FMIC set up.) i originally thought it to be almost useless without the add on piece, but i am sure the CF part has helped. if i could, i would seal it off on the sides as well.

here's a shot, hope this helps:

I have a carbing plate in the car and honestly, it's just for looks IMO. Unless modified like the one above, and converted to FMIC vertical stance radiator, it won't do really any good. I like how it looks though.

No, it was designed to be a sleeker/sexier version of the pettit one. It was put on the back burner though. The next couple of months I am going to focus on developing a fd sub box for mass production, and a replica of the r-magic headlight kit.

I have one that Kinetik FD3S made a while back, but the install was retarded difficult due to the tight fit around the hood latch. I may modify (read---cut up) the panel to make it bolt in easier. It's a beautiful polished piece too, I've had it laying around for years after a few aborted install attempts.....

i have the Carbing Radiator panel if someone wants to buy it. i never installed it because it looks stupid if you have a single turbo. count me in bryan if you make some, especially CF.
