I already have a perrin, but as long as you cut it properly and drill the holes yeah...it's easy as shit. If you could get a template it would be even easier.

I personally want the bigger CBD one that covers the headlight brackets, fucking awesome.

What is a Radiator Shroud supposed to do? Is it just for looks?

that's just about it! They still look sweet though.

+1 on custom making one. You got me thinking...

Radiator shrouds are designed so that the air flowing through the front grille stays hitting the radiator and doesn't deflect upwards into the engine bay.

All of the aftermarket radiator shrouds, except the JMB (the one I have) suck if you ask me. NONE of them allow you to use the hood bumper in the front, and when you have a fiberglass hood, and no hood bumper...it flaps around on the highway.

And all of Perrin's products are discontinued you can only find them used.

lol note taken on the bumper Crystal.. ill see what is possible with that... cuz i know that my hood flaps a bit already.. i dont want it to be any worse than that..

I never noticed it until I installed my TruFiber hood that's on the car now. I had the bumper off for some reason or another and the hood was flapping on the highway. When I got the Perrin one in the mail and realized it was the same way, I sold it.
