I am going to be starting on creating a CF radiator shroud soon. I would like to know what you guys have seen that you liked and didnt like. Also any DIY jobs you have seen that would be good too. Also any existing products. What im really looking for is pictures and your opinion of what you would want a shroud to look like. I will get some drawings scanned in asap but my scanner has been on the fritz. Thanks, looking forward to the responses.

Thank You sir. That is greatly appreciated. I am thinking of making a small version like the ones in the DIY forum and also making a larger one that possibly extends across the hole front end covering some of the headlight mounts. I want this to create a cleaner looking engine bay. I hate when you pop the hood your eye has so much junk to look at so i really want this to tidy up the whole bay.

FML, I was going to PM you, and noticed you already did. Sorry.

However, If you do make them go across and over the headlights, take body flex and the fact that most radiator supports are already tweaked and nearly no 2 are alike. If utilizing the headlight bolts, Most have (on 1st and 2nd Gen at least) broken bolts or tabs.

I would (just me) make them to bolt using the radiator tab bolts and to extend just over the fan shrouds for a little more function. But that's me.

I have the Zerosports one for BE/BH, same design as Cusco but in black/gray.
