6. Trace the template cut-out with a silver sharpie marker and then remove the template.

7. Remove radiator shroud from vehicle (safest method).

8. Using an exact-o knife and a straight edge or ruler; cut out the defined area (may be easier to cut out the corners first with the exact-o knife and then flip the shroud over so that it can lay flat on the ground).

thanks - kinda what i thought - sounds like a good setup - will consider buying very soon.

 

That is really nice - I am going to forward this to my friend who is running the BW!

Thanks,Matt

 

Hey Robert, go look at the website!

Have a great Thanksgiving

 

I had one of the original "ice box covers" on a Blackwing when I first got my car.

FWIW, instead of using the supplied oem push pins to retain the cover, I installed threaded nutserts into the shroud and used button head allens. That made R&R so easy.

Bump again, just spoke with my friend and he is thinking the Flat Black one for the very reasonable $140 -

Thank you for the concise and clear install instructions too!

Thanks,Matt

 

I have one in the box ready to ship

 

you da man!!!!!

 

Just bought one of these and installed it in my 02 Z06 along with my new Blackwing, which is connected to a modified Halltech air bridge.

The primary reason I bought it was to keep the filter dry when opening a wet hood.

Works and looks great. Thanks Pat.

Thank you.....let's see some pics

 

nice C5...

 

Im looking for pics too,my friend!

 

I attached the Blackwing to my 85mm MAF, and my old Halltech Gen 1 airbridge to the MAF. Unfortunately the assembly was too long, so I cut down the airbridge on the MAF side (trimmed it by about 1"). The Chiller is just a press fit. The square dowels under each edge of the Chiller are connected by velcro and lift the cover up off the filter by 3/4" so the filter can breathe a little better. Haven't yet cut a hole in the shroud (Thanks Darryl for the info on how to best proceed with that gyration.) Regards to all

 

 

So far,so good. You'll be satisfied with the end result!
