Review - Autotecknic CF Cooling Plate
I originally ordered a CF Cooling Plate from another company on the board, and i was not disappointed with it.... until....
I saw the Autotecknic CF Cooling Plate. The original one I ordered was not a full plate and stopped short on both sides. It was a flat piece that was not molded.
The Autotecknic version is a full version that goes end to end. It is molded near the hood latch to avoid the scratches that can occur on the competitor's CF plate. I just wanted to post pics and let everyone know that I am extremely happy with the quality of this product, and install took 2 minutes!
whitez on the board can provide more info. Here are pics of the Autotecknic version, follwed by the original version.

It's supposed to direct all of the airflow thru the radiator for better cooling, instead of up and over it thru the existing opening by the bumper. That's in theory... how effective it really is, i have no idea... but i still want one 
Did you guys get the plate directly from autotecknic's website or from somewhere else? I also noticed on their website a nismo copy spoiler that is really cheap... has anyone ever seen or ordered that spoiler before?

solidsnake - I have Nitto NT 555's 255/35/20 in the front and 275/35/20 on the rear. It is dropped with the Tein Flex Coilovers, about 2 inches. The ride is stiff, but perfect. I had Eibach springs before, and it is a cheaper route to go.
zecstasy - thanks for the advice, but I already had the CF JIC strut bar and sold it. I didn't like the way it was rough and not smooth. I decided to go polished with Greddy, and it goes nicely with the TT. I am trying to keep the polished and carbon theme going and the Samsco hoses don't work well with the Pi-thon fittings.
n666- pm whitez and he'll hook you up.
toykilla - nice meeting you as well. pm whitez if you want one of these. BTW , I am still thinking of your interior!
strife350z - dkny_boi answered this, but it also does a good job of covering the horns and alarm siren!

i like the autotecknic...but its made for the japan model z....they are supposed to come out with a us version where the air inlet area is a little bit wider....this should allow more functionality if this piece truly does direct the airflow into the intake area
