I wanted one for my car too. Even if they sold one its not worth shelling out the green for a peice of bent painted metal. Get a sheet of metal, tin snips and fabricate one yourself, and then get it powdercoated.

Other than for looks, you don't need one on an EF or CRX!!!!!

The reason for one is to stop air flow over the top of the radiator. On our cars, the radiator top tank sits snug against the radiator core support.

i beleive the oem radiator setup in the ef had a small cushy padding running across the top of the radiator core and was held on by double sided sticky tape.

same concept i believe and is still used today.


all your looking for is some surface to impede the air flow across the radiator core. i've seen setups go as far as tacked 1.5" x 12" plates of al on the core itself (front).

You replied an 8 year old thread!
It's unnecessary and dead weight if you ask me.
