That looks great Terry. I installed all of mine this weekend except for the radiator cover. Your photos help me understand how it's supposed to connx.

Just a tip on the radiator cover. Do NOT use the enclosed screws to fit this item, it is a B*****d, just use self tappers, ideally chome plated or Stainless steel, Far Far easier. I messed around for about 2 hours trying to fit the original screws, gave up in the end, and because I had already drilled holes for the screws, had to use plastic rawlplugs and screws.
Much, Much easier.

OK so I was trying to figure out how to put the rad cover on as well, you have to drill...OK no problem but what do the c clamp things do/go?

Max, thanks for posting pics of your (my) car, mine is red too so ya saved me the effort to post

Top quality and so well worth the $, this is show bling at its best. If/when it stops raining I'll take a pic of my engine bay.

Guys,
These are absolutely excelent! They fit, they have the bling too. I wish I had bought the rad cover too, but have to wait for another day. I wonder if Max could do one that included the rad cover and the support between the fenders where the hood latch is located. I think that would be a really great looking combo.

Thanks, guys, I'm on "vacation" in Virginia. I washed 3 stories of windows on the in-folks house yesterday and today. I'm ready to go back to work now!

Sorry about the lack of instructions-

the clips replace the OEM black radiator clips on the top. They are too tall.

Don't flex the sst rad cover-it just lays flat (see the picture). I drilled #21 and tapped 10-32 threads to install mine. Self tappers are a good idea, but take them back out to apply some rust preventative? And don't over-tighten...

More to come...

Installed mine last weekend and all went well, had no problems with the radiator cover other than the cover hitting the passenger side of the CAI. I also added two extra screws to better secure the cover at the ends. This is really a nice add on for our cars, and Max did a fantastic job. Its nice to have forum members who share there ideas and mods as to the after market parts for us since there is so little out there. here are some pictures, not the best but didn't have enough time when I took them.

Lookin' good. Sorry for the lack of instructions for the rad cover.


1) Remove the OEM radiator clips (black) and install 2 new low-profile clips (white).


2) Place rad cover as shown. Make sure you can see metal under the holes.

3) Use drill and tap I sent to make threaded holes for the 2 screws I sent.

If you must, plan "B", to use self-tappers, will work fine?

Thanks for all the help along the way, Max....

A very cool trophy laser cut from stainless and custom painted, IMO much better than some piece of wood with a fake plastic gold car on top.
