Anyone try to make on from a sheet of metal and some wood blocks and a rubber hammer. You know use the wood to form the down slopes and curves just heat up the sheet with a torch. Anyone???

I wouldn't see why you would need one since it's a FWD with a electric fan. As you mention just not functional but for looks I can understand, Couldn't care more for it.

what does the car being FWD have to do with anything? The shroud is to route the maximum amount of air to the radiator for cooling purposes.....
