Renova CF Cooling Panel Installed: Anyone Else?

[Maxtype 240]

Install was tricky for me, not sure if was b/c I have a Zenki frame. The front of the panel didn't want to dip low enough to go through the various holes and clips.

Ingenuity and a sawz-all was the solution: I cut the inner tabs withing the grill to slip in the cooling panel w/in the grill. Anyone else have tight fitment issues? Not a biggie, just wondering if anyone else didn't find it a true plug-n-play...

It's still a tight fit though and closing the hood takes some effort. The hood will change shortly once I get the CF one painted.

Different angles and more pics in my homepage but here are 2 for general idea:

It'd look great if you didn't have that Kouki frontend on there.

You should have waited Jesse, we could have traded frontend parts and made money. :naughty:

That looks hot,so does the rest of your car. I wish they would make one for S14.5. I like how it covers up the radiator support, but would be better if they didnt have holes for the lock (for those that doesn't use one that is). BTW, do you got NOS in there? I heard it makes your car run faster. :)

i looked at it for like 20 mins and decided it wasnt worth the effort today....it seems like itll be a tuck n fit job =/

Dude, it took me 20min in pitch darkness w/ a flashlight. The UPS guy deliverd the piece at 7PM (God Bless them) and there's no way I could just let it sit.

I did have to refit it better in the morning but it's the work ethic work we're talking about :)
