Kevin @5Spurs talked about the idea of making them to me before. I sent him a link to a conversation thread here about them, but I've not heard back from him.

Sad. They would sell. I would love to dress up my under hood area.

Can I ask how you cut the hole, what type of tool, hole saw, if so what size?
Thx

Kevin from 5spurs asked me about making one recently. Maybe he can comment on this.

I went ahead and bought the 2017 extensions from AM and I'm currently modifying, and plan to have them painted after completion will send pics when complete.

If it can be made to work and look good, let us know. I will buy them and mod this winter. Thank you for your help.

Makes no sense. Black plastic extruded parts are the cheapest to produce. with the highest return on investment. Re-working the existing dies to make 18-21 panels would require minimal effort with the punch, for the 18 panels removed to continue making the 15-17. No scrap, defective panels are ground up and re-introduced with virgin pellets.

From what I see, our radiator covers are molded on the sides, to fit extension side covers. It seems like very few companies have engineers designing none OEM stuff, just people duplicating OEM stuff but with small variants.

Thanks. What year GT do you have? Is it a PP1 Premium. Don't know if that makes a difference for my extensions. Does your ends look like mine?. Don't look at the JB weld I used on the rad Support framw.
