radiator shroud / alternator shroud group buy interest?

[HeresMyMind]

Depending on how many would be interested I can have some Radiator shrouds and alternator shrouds cut up from aluminum with a plasma cutter to have perfect fit and finish. they would run around 70$ for the alternator and maybe maybe 20 for the radiator. with like 85 for a combo. who would be interested in either or a combo? if we can get at least 5 alternator shrouds sold, I will get these made up!

[HeresMyMind]

even the ones on jna performance are 125$ and the radiator shrouds are around 40. so getting both for my price would save lots of money and be made for OUR cars specifically.

[ScaryFatKidGT]

oh damn I was thinking just a slab of unpainted aluminum and then I saw the pics and I want...the only think is im looking at a new car but thoes should fit any ej series right?

so the alt. cover takes place of the stock plastic on and the metal belt cover?

but il deffenatly take a radiator shroud for $20 so count me in on that. I was going to try to make my own out of some sheet metal but it wont look that cool

[SilentRacer]

also interested in shroud but want to see finished product first.

[hallowpoint]

+1 more for the shroud. id be in on that for 20 bucks

[HeresMyMind]

Ok guys, Ill get on it cutting some up. i'll start with some radiator shrouds first, and if everyone likes them and the quality I will make some alternator shrouds too. just a question, would people want their user names cut into the radiator shroud? like where SUBTLE was.

-B

[Airgne]

can you get for 1st and 3rd gens as well?

[HeresMyMind]

All I have is a 2nd get to test fit on, if I can get someone here to see how similar they are I'm sure I could make them

Depends on the way you cut/engrave/emboss the lettering.

I'll go with the words "boxer" "horizontally opposed" or "SLi"

but I would like to see a sample before I set it in stone.

I laugh when people ask questions like that :smile:

The world is use to "Made in China" prices.. Its what crippled the world :-?

yea really


I would go for "Boxer" or the "SLi" symbal cut in

id like to know if they would fit a 02-05 wrx the alt. covers look exactly the same

[Navi271]

count me in for the combo!!!
but ya i wanna see the finished product blah, blah, boxer or sli printed on it blah blah...

[DLC]

I'm interested in this as a combo. I like trick stuff like this and would rather have something more generic, like "boxer 4" or "The Ladies Love it Horizontal" instead of a name, which would be difficult to sell at some time in the future.

[2.5GT]

I would like to see an actual piece on a Legacy.

hey now, i was just asking not complaining....

i'm in for the combo too but id rather not have anything on it at all... then ppl could just add their own stickers or leave it blank

[hallowpoint]

i vote for "SLI" on them or maybe "EJ25"

[gryffinwings]

Will this work for my 2001 Outback? I'll put my name down at the very end of this month.

I would assume that the radiator shroud is for the BD/BK/BG since "hereismymind" drives a 99' BK GT. I could only assume that the alternator cover would be universal for all N/A EJ motors.

I'll get a picture of my engine for you just in case, since this is a phase II SOHC EJ25 that we are talking about, so it may be a little different.

Someone got me a picture of their engine pulley cover for the 2000-2004 BE/BH engine, and this is is what I have:

*bump*

for more interest.

!!!!!

[ScaryFatKidGT]

maybe just make some blank ones and charge $5 bucks to have some writing cut in it?

will ur alt covers have the vents cut in the top like the ones shown?

[HeresMyMind]

the alternator covers will, the writing on the shrouds will be optional.

Do you know if the alternator cover will work with 2001 non-turbo EJ25? Picture posted above.

[HeresMyMind]

they seem to have all the same mounting points, I want to make it so it covers your existing belt cover so ist like double protected?

But you don't actually need the original belt cover in place do you?

If you don't mind, could you show a picture of how it's mounted? and the hardware?

[HeresMyMind]

I'm still designing it in cad. the alternator shroud will be done in about a week or 2.

[DLC]

Definitely interested in seeing a finished example.

[hallowpoint]

any updates? still interested

[91Turbolegacy]

For the most part they're the same only problem is for the a/c pump. I would be interested for a combo deal but my radiator doesn't have a center hump.

[chuckthefuk]

[Navi271]

Private group buy. Not one supported by a company. But meh.

[2.5GT]

Yeah I agreed chuckthefuk. It seems that it's the lack of commitment and interest on both parties. So nothing ever gets done :cry:

[ScaryFatKidGT]

If they will look like those pics for $20 and $70 I'm committed.

[zeus]

whats the word here? i'd be on board any progress?
