MotoCam360 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm getting ready to laser cut 1/4 inch thick smoked acrylic Air Diversion Panels.... gauging interest to see if anybody else needs one? The smoked color is the same material I make my foglight covers out of, which you can see on the front of the car. Notice my design will NOT have the hood prop receptical provision since I run my hood strut kit on all 3 cars, but you could easily cut it in with a jigsaw if needed: http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc409/motocam360/SQ%20Air%20Diversion%20Panel/SQAirDiversionFront.jpg http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc409/motocam360/SQ%20Air%20Diversion%20Panel/SQAirDiversionTop.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOHO Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Could you do one with a different cut out? I don't use the hood latch assembly but I need a hole to access my radiator? Does that make sense? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamble88 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Cool, what are you cutting it with? I just ordered some 12x36 6061 aluminum and going to cut one out for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 What am I missing? 1. The prop rod lays on top of the radiator support and pivots from its mounting outside the driver's side head light. 2. The radiator is on the back side of the mount while the diversion panel is in front. How doers this panel affect either of these? On the other hand, checking or filling the cooling sustem's overflow bottle might be a bit more difficult, and the hood switch will be inoperative unless another hole is provided.

MotoCam360 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hello TM, Here are the answers to your questions: 1. My air panel covers the little plastic prop rod retention clip when the prop rod lays parallel to the radiator because I have hoodstrut kits and no longer use a prop rod 2. Boho runs a 1JZ, and they put the radiator in front of the crossbar for this conversion (1JZ/2JZ) Yes the hood switch becomes inoperative.... I don't find it necessary myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see my sig pic? I have 1jz and hood pins...I have the old OutcastZero panel but it's kind of pointless with my setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taeisallin Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hey Tim. I'd be down for one. Thanks Tae Hey sorry I never got to give any feed back on your hood struts and fog light covers. The hood struts are awesome. But I made the hole a just a tad closer than I was supposed to and the body has a gap. That's why i never got to post a pic. I didn't want to turn people away from a great product because I installed it wrong. Anyways, keep up the good work. I will send you some awesome pics when I get everything straightened out.

tg118 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 while you're on the subject of the hood struts how much for that kit,,, sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoCam360 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hello Tae, you can remedy the fit on the hoodstrut kit by slotting the fender seam hole that you have to drill..... give it 1/8" of side to side and hopefully that will cure your bind issues. The hardware should still cover the hole and make it barely noticable, but make your adjustments incrementally. Thanks for the kind works Slydogg... glad your install went smooth! TG - I should have pricing on the air diversion panel figured out tomorrow and I will post up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoCam360 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Funny, they are being cut now in smoked acrylic and also black ABS, but I don't have a cost till I get back to Seattle next week. I am also cutting the radio cluster in smoked acrylic with the HVAC controls, pocket, and single DIN. Lastly I have a very cool Black ABS chin spoiler that I'm producing too - there will be 2 design options for people to choose from. I will post pics and prices for everything when I'm back next week.

MotoCam360 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'll post prices and pictures all at the same time so you can see the options and the quality of nicely designed laser cut parts and make your choices from there.
