JDM Password Kevlar Cooling Plate Installation

valinr · 08-22-2010, 08:01 AM

I jut got my JDM Password Kevlar Engine compartment covers and cooling plate. The OEM parts come out very easy. No tools required. I installed the compartment covers and that was simple and a good fit. I then tried to install the cooling plate and ran into some problems. The JDM product does not fit in that well?? It covers over the windshield washer bottle and the clip for the hood arm does not line up?? Has anyone installed this JDM product that can give me some tips?? Maybe I'm doing something wrong or maybe the cooling plate needs to be trimmed, but before I take it into a body shop and start hacking a $400 part up I wouldn't mind some feedback.

Equinox has the PW JDM parts installed without any issues. If you get a chance post pics so people can see if you're having an issue that can be fixed.

i have the pw:jdm radiator cooling plate installed. no issues. and i bought it used off of mike bonnani, who didn't report any issues (i think).

Dreamer has them. And you are right they do not fit perfect.

theDreamer · 08-22-2010, 10:10 PM

Mine fits overall, but the hood prop hole is off.
I got it to work without modifying the Password JDM piece.

Thanks for the folks who had reasonable responses. Dreamer, are you happy with the product? I got it to work does not sound positive? How does your hood close now? Where does the hood holder arm sit and clip in?
