Yeah thats a nice price. What year vette do you have. I have a 1993 6 speed and Im waiting for my computer to come back so I can drive the car. I had a 1991 whcih I loved also but old it this summer

I know how you feel about the parts and being excited it is such a great car to own. Just a total pleasure. Granted it can be expensive but if you can do your own repairs even better

I might make that my first mod does that come with everything needed

Loved mine nice tough piece. Cools down quicker once you start moving and stays cooler at constant apeeds than without

It's a nice piece. Get hold of member Golfman2008 I'm pretty sure he sells them.

I have one, installation was a bit of a pain. It works great, the car runs noticeably cooler now and I love the look.

I'm from Michigan and we have a lot of road kill that sneaks up on you. I am going to stick with the cheap 3 piece units on my 93 Ruby as I can see that new one being busted on my daily driver. I have gone through 2 sets in almost 2 years and need to order a center section now. I saw a new zr1 and I don't think I would dare drive it on these MI roads, because it sets so low.

I installed one on my '92 and didn't notice a bit of difference at any speed here in Knoxville. A bit pricy for absolutely no change in engine temp. It does look good tho if you are willing to get on your knees to look at it. Just my humble observation.

Send all that back it will do you no good. You could use that money on real mods. Do research here before you buy stuff and you won't regret it.
I'm not trying to insult you. I'm trying to help.

No power gain or anything from it, but the temps are 10*-15* cooler when moving.

It's cheaper here......

(from the manufacturer)

since they make it and sell it to Mid America and Ecklers.

I autocross my 94 in hot sticky FL. At idle sitting still it does nothing for you of course but it does bring my temps down quicker once moving and getting the air flowing.

That's just my car and maybe I'm lucky but I've heard others say the same thing.

It's great - vette runs cooler -- helped stop front end float at speed ( 55 MPH ) and is great for picking up stray cats --
