Fan Shroud
Hey guys I've gone through about 3 of the stock plastic shrouds.I'm gonna fab my own out of some sheet metal or aluminum.My question is do i lose any cooling ability by just putting it over the top to protect my fingers. I haven't had any overheating probs but my commute is only ten mins

The fan Shroud is a big part of the cooling system and needs to be in place. It is designed to draw the air across the radiator, not around it. Please understand cooling systems.
To the OP, yes, you can make one from metal, but have it cover the same area as the stock one.
