Default Radiator Cooling Panels for 07 +?

Anyone know which are available, if any? Now that I swapped over to the 07 + rad support, need a new cooling panel

Thanks in advance

I've never had any reason to fit a cooling panel to the 07 + cars. Only one I ever tried was Cusco, and it won't fit. I know the 07+ cars need a totally different piece. ARC only makes it for the DE as far as I've seen

Waiting for Mines to tell me if any are still floating around as theirs show as being discontinued on their site

Interesting you should ask. Quidproquo just found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-350Z-03-07-Carbon-Radiator-Air-Diversion-Panel_W0QQitemZ280325942688QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Tru ck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item280325942688&_trksid=p4506.c0. m245&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318


It looks like it will fit. I had to cut my Greddy CF panel since the section on the driver's side near the radiator is rounded on the earlier versions. This one is squared like the 07/08s.

I purchased this last week and am waiting for it to be delivered. I was totally unaware that the DE version would not fit the HR, until Clipdin told me. I'll let you know if this one fits without modification once it's delivered.

I fabricated one myself a couple weeks ago out of 22 guage steel. I'll post pics soon.

that one fits like poo!

I think I'm going to have to just make something. I will test fit the ARC one at some point over the weekend - so far they are the only company that lists it as fitting both. The little "nub" on the driver side that juts forward is wider on the HR vs the DE. Would be nice to find one that covers the intake ducts on both sides but I guess that's wishful thinking lol

They are dress up...I just can't stand how that opening where the latch looks all opened

Ok... I managed to get it to fit with the dremel, and I didn't ruin the finish. This guy should really change his description.

You guys will have to get your dremel out to make the 03-06 fit. I have a greddy one I need to do, I just haven't had the time.


I want a god damn strut bar that will fit
