Thats a functional piece, GP Sports and a few other companies produce it. It's to help air flow to your radiator.

thanks for the post, i figured they were directing air flow.

I am almost done with the replicas im making in metal .... hehe

Where can I buy one that is not way over priced. Takakaira has them but they are like $250+shipping from Japan. And GP sports only has them for the s14

Read: under $100 bucks.

Sheet metal and some tin snips will do it for under 100$. Hell you could even spray them for that much :D

[Johny5]

you can have them powdercoated and tin-snipped for under $100 ;)

Hmm, I should really learn to work with fiberglass. How much heat can fiberglass take anyway?

[Fireball240SX]

Wow those are hot! I like the looks and great function. Even leaves room to floss some Carbon Fiber if necessary :)

SCC's "Project Silvia" has a similar routing system:

i think all the comercial ones i've seen so far are around $200 or so, so if you want one for under 100, its gonna have to be custom made by you or a shop.

I finished mine, and will post some pics once i get my camera back.

I got a sheet for $6.36 and used large sergical cutters to work with it (didnt have metal cutters) came out great. I think even better because I was able to flush it all out & had some metal left over =]

yah those are great to have especially if you have a fat front mount blocking air to your radiator... and they look hella nice when your looking at your engine bay...:D
