Aftermarket GP intercooler cover

Does anyone make an aftermarket intercooler cover, similar to the ALTA V2 cover, which would fit a GP?

Alta was working on a diverter specific for the GP intercooler. I don't know if they finished it or not. V1 and V2 won't fit. Try asking Alta about the GP

Guys, since I picked up my OWN GP last weekend, I am pushing to get this done. However, I need to be sure enough clients are interested prior to poking the button. Otherwise the cost per unit will go up dramatically. Anyone want to do an informal poll? I would like to keep them at $199-$219 and offer either silver or black depending on what each client wants. I can also do special aluminum decals on each one to match the roof numbers as well depending on qty. etc. I want this to be a REALLY nice part for the GP owners to enjoy!

Try contacting DDM Works and see if they will make you one. Their R53 IC diverter is the nicest out there IMO.

cRiKeY !

I just ordered the IC cover from Germany today....at $193.00 ea.... - 20%. But i will check with them just the same.

Adam wrote me back. Guess the project never took hold due to a lack of demand. I get a sense at the time, most GP owners were either mothballing their cars for investments, or keeping them stock as much as possible, but I would think today they may get a more positive response.

You're right, I bet. Today, more GP owners might be amenable to sensible mods that complement the GP characteristics.
