Suggestions needed for Shroud Project

I've came across a spot that is willing to do a shroud set up for our 5th / 5.5 gens. I need an idea of how you guys would want it to look if you were to get one.

As for myself I am going to have it lay across the opening between the bumper to the radiator. Then I am going to cross over the lights to the bar as well. It will be three pieces. He is going to do the single piece as well as the one I am going to get. ( bumper to radiator )

If you guys have an idea of what you think would look good then let me know. I am going to give this guy my template by weeks end. If I can get enough interest then the prices will be straight.



Edit: This will be in aluminum or you can have it painted at extra cost.

if it was made of metal and could somehow protect the HID tabs from being cut... that would be cool.

I didn't know someone already made this. Could you post pics, could you make it out of metal instead of cf?

That's exactly what I was talking about. I would have it lay over the top of the headlights and bolt down on top of the headlight tabs. That's what I meant by three pieces.

Doing it in three pieces would keep the cost down (qoute) So there will be a center piece and/or three piece.

Like I said... I am going to do my template and have it to this guy be weeks end. That being said as soon as I get the price qoute and prototype done I will post it up for all to see.

I did stop, But I have the project back on track now, new composites and resins ftw!!! I can make one in red aramid fiber with carbon inlays. Would that work for you? I will send you a PM for the price.

Looking at the cardomain site, it seems like it's almost a requirement to have an aftermarket intake to get this mounted? For those with stock intakes, is this still viable?

unless the CF is real thick i wouldnt think it would make a difference. the snorkel just rests on the top of the rad support, so it should just rest on the CF

It goes from the grill mounts to the radiator itself, it does cover that area.
