Does anybody know where to get the rad cover on a v6(with the CAI installed)?
Also looking for a strut tower brace.

Post up some pics of your air intake and I might be able to suggest something.

The closest thing I'd suggest would be the Rotofab Rad Cover.
It does not have much meat behind the blue cap.
So it may not interfere with your red down pipe in that area behind the blue cap.
It has a curve to suit a curved intake pipe (might not be an exact match to your curve, but its better than the square cut-outs in the Holden rad cover).
You could always cut out a black circle of plastic from somewhere to cover up the Rotofab rad cap access hole that the V6 engine does not use.

I believe that Roto Fab was trying to produce a radiator cover that would work with their CAI. Have not heard anything from them lately. BTW, some of us believe that the V6 engines built in Australia came with the 2 piece engine covers. MY U.S. built engine came with the 1 piece cover. Are these covers interchangable? With a STB and a 1 piece cover it is a pain to get to the filter w/o removing the STB first. I am wondering if the 2 piece would be easier. Question, do the 2 piece covers attach to the engine the same points as the 1 piece cover? And, are the 2 piece covers availble for purchase? If so, what would be the cost including shipping?

2 piece engine covers.

Deserves its own thread.
