Ebay Carbing Cooling Plate...Quality?
I was wondering if anyone here had ever purchased one of these cooling plates from ebay. If so how is the quality, fitment and look? Anyone had experience with other cooling plates from other manufacturers? If so where do you order them?

I used a Carbon Fiber one for my 240,
and it actually worked really well!..
I found that my engine temp was about 3-5 mm under where it usually sat.
it was nice looking too!!!

i just wanna chime in here, im a lurker but i can shed a bit of insight here
Carbing isnt some ebay brand, the guy just happens to be selling a carbing product on ebay
They manufacture some really nice stuff such as these plates, strut bars, subframes etc etc, great quality perfect fit. There pretty big in the subaru scene.
I have there plate and strut bar on my sti, the strut bar even has a built in brake master cylinder brace
They are imported by Tein

It depends on the FMIC. However, this is only an aid for FMIC users. There is no benefit if your radiator is in the stock location. For people with FMIC's, they have to make the radiator upright. This causes the top of the top of the radiator to be open to the car where air can escape around it. This plate covers the top of the radiator stopping flow over the top to help force air through the radiator.

Honestly, i considered this a while back just for cosmetic purposes. If i can get a 5, 10, 15 whatever degree drop in the process, thats great but i soley want this to make the engine bay look a bit nicer.
My only concern is will this fit with the FMIC piping? I assumed it has to be cut around it? I seen some engine bays with these plates and its altered to fit the FMIC piping that car has.
