Good luck in finding one my friend. Everybody and their brother is looking for one of those on these boards. The company that used to make them is long gone. Your best bet on finding one is checkin at car swap meets and maybe you'll get lucky. If you find more than one, hell, let me know. I'll give you double what they asked for it.

Are you talking about the cover that blocks the space the filters go in on a tpi car. I've seen them in cabon fiber, but aluminium would look cool. I say go for it. If they turn out good I may get some from you.

the only difference would be if you use the safety latch i would cut a hole for the latch and the logo painted onto this one would not be on the ones i would make for other people. is $20 each shipped to much? this one is a little dirty...all of the new ones would be pollished before shipping.

That carbon fiber one from the Japanese company is bad. I want one really bad, but I can't read Japanese . Anyone dealt with these people yet?

JAPANESE TRANSLATOR SYSTEM.

bablefish.altavista.com

paste in url, change the language translator and read the broken english.

That carbon-fiber piece is about $300 USD, that doesn't even include shipping. They are the same ones that make that ducted hood for $1800 USD.

i think if you'd make it precut with the safety latch it would be better, i mean i dont mind regardless i have a fiberglass hood. but say when i put my stocker back on in the winter then i'll need it.

Glad I bought the chrome rad mount back in 96 when I did.

Now I only wish instead of bitching about it being $40 I would have bought more of them.
