DIY - Brake Cooling Ducts

This one you can use the hoses for brake ducts.

Same idea but they go to your intakes. Both of those are around $75 for parts.

Oil pan spacer for $189

Ken-San recommended this cheap mod to keep yer stainless shifters nice and cool during the summer! While he didn't expressly mention this particular one (he may have mentioned a bunny cover or something of that nature), I feel this might fit the bill nicely at $23.89!

I wish there was a way to make this mod where it will cover the silver inner rim.

There is somebody around here that has such a system for that, but it's more involved & cost more. I don't mind the little bit of silver, as I have the grey int & it kind of accents a little to the rest of the trim. Like I said, $13, can't beat it& I can actually read the fuel gauge now.

$.02

Yes - One 3M Di Noc: 12"x24" $11.99

Bought it from this place on the bay:
Carbon_Covers

Looks like they have other colors too.

I would buy the 3M brand opposed to other vinyl, JMHO.

Have FUN!
