I saw someone else here had made aluminum radiator shrouds for their tri z. I dont have radiator shrouds and had some diamond plate lying around I thought I would try making some shrouds. I think they turned out pretty good. What do you guys think?

Nope it wasn't me. It was derick adams that did them shrouds. I put a aluminum mesh behind my factory radiator shrouds.

i made a pair for my 350X last night, the first one took me like an hour to get it all right, and its a lot different then all of yours, the 2nd one only took me like half that time....I cant find my digital camera tho...., i need somethin to reinforce them tho,im gunna use some JB weld and put a few more sheets in the inside i guess so they wont bend....
i beat it out of metal with a rubber hammer, and a hammer that had a square end, and a ball peen hammer for the tight stuff, and i used the vice to hit it on, and a sheet of 1/2" steel thats bolted to the top of the smaller workbench.... they need to be painted i guess, its not really somethin you can polish :( or a couple coats of clear, or put the sheets of sticker stuff on it..... :confused:
