Radiator Diverson Panel

I'm thinking about getting one pretty soon. I was seeing if they really work? Also they make your engine look clean.

lookin into one as well. they're relatively inexpensive but i never see them in anyone's pics of their engine bays!

*shrugs* i've seen plenty of pics with them in...

hmm... a good cheap alternative besides those crazy flasshy metal ones are Doctor Isotope's stuff... if you guys haven't seen it... got mine really cheap and it makes the engine bay look clean.

Pretty much just a show piece on the tC. The radiator has side panels that boxes the air to flow thru it. There is a leading edge seal on the upper lip of the front bumper fascia. A rear seal on the hood closes the gap onto the radiator upper support. All of this effectively forces the air to flow into the engine compartment via the radiator path. A reverse cowled hood would serve better to flow. Run Royal Purple Ice or Redline Water Wetter if you are worried about temps. I have run my hard in Texas on the back roads and never seen much of a temp jump. If you are running a huge IC you will be experiencing less airflow so higher temps maybe your norm.

BTW.. I am not opposed to the air diversion panels. If you want one, get one. They look good and don't hurt your airflow.
