Default Radiator Shroud

Does anyone make a radiator shroud that bolts to the OEM radiator? I ill be buying an aftermarket radiator over the winter but for now I am sick of looking at the slim fans zip tied to the fan because all of the ties that came with the slim fans broke. Everything I see says "wont fit OEM radiator" Has anyone bought a shroud and bolted it to their OEM radiator?

The factory shroud and fans are not an option?

I got rid of the bulky stock fans and went with 2 slim fans to make room for a larger intake. So i have the slim fans attached to the OEM radiator.

Well...you're buying a thicker radiator with plans to run a shroud. Isn't that going to be just as wide as the stock radiator coupled with the stock shroud?

What I'm getting at is that maybe the limitation is the intake design.

I'm assuming you can make an aftermarket shroud fit on your stock radiator with some spacers or something. If it doesn't fit, you can just use it on your aftermarket radiator.

Man this site sure has taken a dive over the years. I have seen so many post of rather then people helping each other in the s2000 community all everyone wants to do is criticize and disagree with everyone and ask why would you do that. Years ago if people didnt have the answer to the specific question they just moved along to another topic. All I asked was if anyone knew a manufacture that made a shroud to fit the OEM radiator. Didnt realize I was going to have to explain why I built what I built and did what I did. At the end of the day my car runs drives and makes great power and is a blast to drive. Simple things like the fans being held on by zip ties only bothers me and isnt seen by anyone. I was just looking for a fix for now because Im not ready to buy an aftermarket radiator yet but the zip ties drive me crazy. I was looking for an answer not justify what I did. But I guess the s2000 community is turning into the rest of the car community that would rather say "why would you do that" rather then "let me help you"

God damn. Get a hold of your hormones.

I offered a suggestion. My first question was to ASK why a stock shroud wouldn't work. My second post was just pointing out that you may have issues fitting your radiator that you're thinking of buying in the future. I also made a helpful suggestion of:

Try to bolt on an aftermarket shroud. Use spacers to make it fit if needed. If it doesn't fit...its not a waste because you can use it in the future.
