Im looking for one of those Renova Carbon Cooling panels that were popular like 3 years ago, but I cant seem to find them brand new anywhere.

Are they not making them anymore? And is anyone making a full cover cooling panel like the renova was?

Im going from an aftermarket bumper with good ducting to an OEM one with smaller opening for FMIC, so I want to increase airflow any way I can.

its a knock off of Garage Defend...

To elaborate... Renova was the official importer of M-Sports till they raised the prices to match Vertex... demand dropped and they tried to survive by making a few Carbon bits like the Cooling Panel... then dropped to being an Ebay store only... and eventually called it quits.

Check eBay. I saw some copies from Hong Kong the other day. Looked just like GD cooling panel. Price was about $100+. Don't know about shipping though.

I still havent found one yet, and would like to get one within a month or so.

So there are no other companies still selling these at all?

Anyone ever try one of these?

Any idea on how well the fit? how well they hold up? How the carbon looks?

its more than 3 years ago.

i know i was trying to look for some at least 5 years ago when it was long out of production. it was probably in production like 6-8 years ago, but at that time i was too cheap to spend ~$180 for a cooling panel and figure i would get one later down the line.

i wish i can find one and wish msport distributor was still around. i want some of their hoods.

^ dude, give that one you found on Ebay a shot and let us know how it worked out. I sifted through their feedback and everyone seems kosher with the product. Plus, it's not like a ring gear set, where they might submit feedback before fitting it. Looks killer to me.

I want still want one too, but the chances of finding a used renova cooling panel are probably slim.

If you don't want to spring for the $300 Garage Defend, I think your best bet is to get the 9k Racing one when/if they come back in stock.

Make an under panel please. These are more effective than that upper panel.
