JDM Password Kevlar Cooling Plate Installation

I'm still using the hood dampers from
Proguagues and they are very good. Check out my DIY for the modshack version I copied. Works very well.

I'm still thinking about getting the JDM CF radiator cover down the road. Maybe next season.

The thing is I cannot do what you guys did, I have the Password JDM pieces that go over the battery & fluids and I am not cutting into them. I am just going to wait for someone to do proper hood dampers which fit the car.

ok, phalen had similar issue on this with his CF covers as well. the decorative bump those JDM pieces have, the damper housing will not clear probably either.

since i connect the battery to its battery manager every weekend i need quick access to the battery and the factory cover is more effective for me. i dont want its umbilical cord hanging out in the engine bay cause it gets too hot for the cord. tried it, temp was near 130F....too hot.

i think the radiator cover is a nice decorative piece though. put that and some nice dressupbolts and it will be a very pleant look, i thinks.

^^ This.. wish someone would come out with proper dampers..

I have both the compartment covers and the radiator cover in CF.. the fit on those is not perfect, had to muscle in a couple of the clips but in the end worked out ok..

i amend my previous statement, i definitely had to wriggle the radiator cover into place. it's not a perfect fit, but it's close enough.

with that said, i opened the hood to take a look and noticed the hood is coming down too low onto the cover plate, bit of red flakes on it now ><'

The easy way is just to add a bit of foam in the contact spots and you will be "GTG"!
