Question which cooling shroud/ plate is the best?

I'm thinking of getting a cooling plate for my Z and I'm thinking between ARC or AutoTecknic... I like how theirs cover the whole thing but I don't know the fitment of the AutoTecknic anyone that has it please give me some suggestions

Fitment & Finish is great with the AutoTecknic cooling plate. I love mine.

If you like carbon fiber then definitely autotecknic, best fitment and great carbon quality/ weaves. Got mine for over a year and still looks brand new!

Yeah it is a bit pricey....ARC itself is expensive stuff. ARC + ti makes it even more so

So basically SS cheaper than Titanium any advantage to titanium vs ss obviously i didn't pay enough attention in chemistry and properties of metals

no advantage..none of the panels really do much but look pretty. For me I simply went ARC because its one of the few things they make I can afford

The problem with most Cooling plates that are flat is that the Hood comes in Contact and you end up with 2 marks on each side of the Hood opening , with Autotecknic they have a lowered area in the center that should eliminate that problem.
