WHAT: Aluminum Impreza Radiator Shrouds. (Fit ONLY 2002-2007 Imprezas)
Made from solid 6061 Aluminum, .062" Thick for sturdy construction. Lighter and more affordable than Stainless Steel or Titanium, but looks like as good and is just as durable for this application. The parts are all powdercoated for abrasion, corrosion, and scratch resistance.

WHY: To keep air flowing through the radiator and not through the gap between the radiator and frame. This increases radiator efficiency and prevents dirt from blowing around the engine bay. This shroud also adds a stylish accent to the engine bay of your car, customized or not, it looks very good. The shroud comes in a professionally powdercoated black textured finish capable of withstanding 450 degrees F.

PRICE: $30 +shipping, plus extra for customized options like laser engraved tags or vinyl decals

OPTIONS:


Two Versions depending on your intake setup:


Standard Version: Includes holes to mount the intake snorkel tube
Smooth Version: Does not have intake snorkel mounting holes, this makes a cleaner appearance (shown below)





Two WC Lathe Werks Decal colors:


Black Decal
Silver Decal
Other Decal colors are available upon request (extra fee may apply)





Add Laser-Engraved plaque. The plaque black anodized aluminum and measures 1" tall x 6" long and affixes to the shroud with industrial tape. Engraved text appears silver.



Add custom die-cut vinyl decals which can be affixed in any position on the shroud.

The two small holes are for the stock air intake snorkel to bolt onto. Most people might not use this anymore. So those holes are optional. Here is a picture of the shroud without those intake snorkel holes. This is the SMOOTH VERSION.

Delivery time will be about 2 weeks (Mid November) for finalizing the first run and getting them anodized. The pre-orders will help me divide the parts for clear or black anodizing. I have received a couple orders today already so it is looking good.

I've got 30 orders in now. They are being made with Black or Silver Powdercoat finish (no longer making anodizing). Powdercoat offers more scratch resistance, covers up surface imperfections, and looks more professional and purpose-built.

So are the pre-ordered ones anodized or are you going to powdercoat all of them?

No, all pre-ordered parts are being powdercoated. I sent emails to all those who ordred (but 2 bounced back for N.Essex and JBsurf so I have to call them)

hrmm... I didn't get an email. I pre-ordered through your website (P. Kelly). Can you pm me or try sending it again?

I think I would rather have it powder coated anyways, so that's good that they are.
