That looks really good!!!

 

thnx! I think they sell a fiberglass version. and yea, I cut it myself and it wasn't easy, hard to cut into nice carbon fiber. I got mine for $283 shipped to my front door in 5 days from japan through a friend. You can buy the pieces now from Yasu at a-t-s usa. His contact info is on J's website homepage linked to A-T-S usa.

here is a pic i found while seaching for other makers of the carbon fiber cooling plate. still i could not find any reliable source about fitment.

 

that one looks a little more like the backyard special one.

 

The carbing plate looks very very cool!
Where can I get one in the U.S. and how much?

 

after a second attempt, i still have not been able to install the carbing panel and close the hood, although i have narrowed the problem down to the cut out around the hood latch, i had previously thought that the radiator panel underneath was the problem, but after removing it for the second install, the hood still did not close, below are some pics where the latch rubs





the bottom red line is probably the problem itself in which the latch does not have enough room to retract back, so cutting a large square out like the yellow car above will probably solve the problem, but maybe even rounding the corner down would do it, either way i'm done trying until i get my mugen cai for which i'll have custom cut the piece to fit around it, if anyone can successfully install this piece, let me know, thanks

 

backyard special=J's=Defend, they are all the same, made by the same manufactuer

fitment on my piece is top notch.

 

hey vapor, would you mind taking a close up pic of you cooling panel? i want to overlay them in photoshop and see what the difference in cut out is, but i still don't know how they run these carbing ones, i've seen them everywhere on cars in japan, only a few of them are modified,thanks

 

np, as soon as I finish up the roll cage, I'll have my digi cam back to take some pics. Friend is borrowing it.

 

now that the ARC distributer has told me that the titanium radiator cooling panel IS out for our car, which was probalby out before i got the carbing one, the 5th pic i posted above with the mugen cai going through it, i have decided to order that one, since it's the one i wanted in the first place, to match my titanium exhaust, and soon to come titanium shift knob and strut tower bar, anyhow as soon as know for sure that the parts exist and are on their way, i will sell the carbing panel if anyone is interested. - brandon
