    i'd say the production piece offer better function because it has a bend that butts against the radiator.

    However, little details like that won't make a significant amount of difference. Just having a cooling panel in place will benefit a lot already. Perhaps if I have more money later, I'll buy the real thing. :)

    LOL I'm making one out of some other material. Plywood just doesn't cut it for me.

    Having a company make it is almost as expensive as buying the real units. LOL :D I'm making the prototype by hand.

    haha not yet. I just found someone with a jigsaw and a bandsaw to use, along with a whole crapload of other equipment and tools. So very soon, very soon. End of this week perhaps.

    I have a prototype completed and test fitted. There were some fitment issues, so the design will have to tweaked once again. However, it is in it's final stages and I'll start taking orders. Currently, the material is plexiglass and looks awesome when installed. It has a window effect and I can tint it any color that you choose. The plexiglass covers will start at 40 dollars + shipping(colors extra). List your name below and I'll have one made for you. :) btw It will NOT melt as some people have suggested. I had it installed in 100+ degree weather here and drove hard for 2 hours. It hardly even got warm.

    I'll work on those next. I need 7th gen to test fit though.

    I guess I can paint over it and post pics, but it's really damaged. LOL I'm also experimenting with sheet metal ones. I have the equipment to cut and shape them now.

    It's going to take time on my side as well to make them. I hardly have time to work on this. I'll go through this thread and take names when it's nearing completion.

    I'm trying to get it to look as clean as possible. I'm making metal heat presses to cut the plexi into smooth shapes.
