I have plans to make a hi-quality fiberglass version (not the cheap strand looking ones you see on low quality body kits).

Almost done working out a deal for other gens. Just stayed tuned.

 

TJ: when the 5th gen comes out, let me know asap!!!! lol... been wanting one for a while!!!

 

larry ill meet you and pay you cash.. let me know when..

 

Larry, Please clarify this. Is there now or will there be a cooling panel for 95-96 infiniti I30 or maximas??

 

Sorry for the confusion. There will be a cooling panel for the 95-96 maximas (I30's also if it is the same design). I have the template; just have to source a manufacturer if there is enough interest. I can make a black fiberglass version myself though. So it really depends what everyone wants.

 

when is the 95-96 gonna be available?

 

I never really paid attention to the front grills of a 95-96 and a 97-99....what the difference in them??? b/c if the difference isn't anything major then I'll get it. And if not...will it work if I have 97-99 grill with the cefiros???? Does anyone know?

 

Depending on interest, I can have them produced in the next few weeks. Although a CF version will take longer to source the materials (worldwide shortage is CF right now). I can also make it in Silver Texalium (known commonly as silver CF, which is the wrong name).

ACEEMaxima: There are very subtle differences, you'll have to ask in the 4th gen forum from members that have done the swap.

 

I would be interested in one for a 95/96. CF is not a big deal. I would be more than happy if it was just black.

 

Okay. I will post a feeler thread to see how much interest there is. Thank you

 

Is There A Way To Modify The Shroud To Fit A 96? If So, I'll Take One Asap. Thanks

 

Sorry I Missed The Last Few Posts, But I Would Like To Know About Modifing One To Fit. Thanks Again!

 

I'm not sure of the physical differences between the two pieces. If you can wait a bit, I can hopefully have a 95-96 production piece made. This way you won't have to hack up a perfectly good piece

 

are there any left? Pm Me so i can paypal you today.

 

PM returned. Thank you!

 

Payment Sent. My car is a 1999 so I assume there should be no fitment issues.

 

Payment received, thank you. There shouldn't not be any issues whatsoever. If any problems arise, let me know and you will be taken care of.

The USPS priority mail doesn't have a tracking number but I will let you know when it ships out.

 

Larry,

I attempted to install mine last night. The fitment is pretty bad. Is it suppose to follow the curve of the grill? If so, it's not so good. I'll take some pics and post up.

Anyone else install theirs yet? If so, post up some closeups please.

 

Sorry for the trouble. If you could email the pictures, i'd appreciate it. This way I can determine a proper refund. Thank you.

 

Hmm.. the template i've had hasn't changed. I've also tested fitted previous pieces locally with no problems. They were cut together, stacked up so if one doesn't fit they all shouldn't fit.

Please note the "step" on the front grill (picture shows 95-96 maxima)

 

pm me if there are any left Im interested and hope that I can get one I have money ready

 

I haven't found an answer yet...I posted in 4th gen...but when you get 95-96 carbon fiber...I want one...hopefully you'll get them b4 nopi...(sept 16-17) just incase you wanted to know

 

I'll most likely have them made by then... no worries. Although it will be at a higher price (more CF in the piece and the 97-99 is a blowout sale)

 

larry,
I'm definitely in for a plain black piece. How much and when do you want the funds??

 

yup ill take a black one for 95-96 too as soon as u get it

 

Do you have these in a different material? Aluminum perhaps? Thanks.

 

I might be interested in a cheaper (non-CF) radiator cooling panel.

 

I'm interested in a non-cf panel for the 5.5 gen whoever makes it.

 

Pics as promised.

Anyone else care to share??? Anyone else having problems???

Pic 1. CF panel lined up on top most step and left and right edges... It does not flow with the grill. Also, IIRC, this doesn't work once grill in back in the car because the back of the CF panel hits stuff. It must be moved forward. That creates another problem... See pics 4, 5, and 6


Pic 2 close up on left side



Pic 3 close up on right side



Pic 4 CF panel moved forward to attempt to line up with lower "step" of grill at left and right edges. As a result, the midde does not flow with the curvature of the grill. Also, the tabs that would mount the CF panel to the grill fall on the "step" and won't work.

Thoughts/comments????

 

Sorry fellas, i've been out of town. Wizard, I will handle your case tomorrow.

 

You have to be creative. I just had this same exact panel on my car before and it doesnt just sit there, and thats it. You have to me creative about it. Just slide it under the lip of the rad support and zip tie the two corners to it. Leave the front of it unattached. That's how I had it. No biggie.

 

Creativeness is not the issue here. I'm plenty creative. And besides, I don't see a disclaimer at the beginning of this thread that says, "Must be creative to make this work" It is sold as fitting PROPERLY and securing the way it was intended. Zipties are for securing wires, not panels.
Sorry TJ, but that's Who wants to look at holes of where the push tabs are supposed to go, and zipties towards the back to secure it...
Do you see your zipties???

 

Sorry I don't have better pics, but mine were just like this. I'm gonna be honest here, everytime I popped my hood no one said, "dude, wtf u have holes, etc". The panel looks good no matter how it's installed IMO. But I guess you're a super perfectionist about things like that? :shrug:. I'm installing it the same way I had it before. I liked it. . Woot! The right side shows how I just zip tied it. The left side shows plumbers tape down to where my airhorns are. This was a perfect cover for them.

 

Okay, i'm back. I got back too late yesterday and couldn't concentrate on the issue.

Mr. Wizard: I think that you may be installing the piece slightly off and hence the panel is having a hard time fitting. The panel shouldn't hit anything because it tucks under the radiator support.

EDIT: please read my bottom post.

 

Larry, I just wanted to let you know that I sent you a PM on your other "Larrio" account.

ya... the answers don't have to be positive.

 

Payment Sent.

JP

 

Payment received, will ship tomorrow. Please let me know if you received it. Thank you very much.

 

Mr. Wizard: after studying your pictures longer, what you are referring to as a defect is actually just a design mis-interpretation.

The middle portion of the panel is flattened from the curve of the bumper as to not stick out when the hood is closed. I just took a look at a local 4th gen that had this on his car. If the panel "flowed" along the bumper, you would see if wedged between the rubber weather stripping and the bottom of the hood. So as you can see, when the sides line up properly the middle portion is trimmed back to retain clearance. And there is plenty of room under the radiator support for the shroud to sit with nothing in its way.

If you still unsatisfied with this answer, please let me know. Thank you

 

hey, im wondering if you have any left? thanks
