VR6Nat 9 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Try speaking to ventovr6essex1 he makes custom made ones and everyone raves about them. I think everyone was having the same problem with getting one to fit so Brett decided to fabricate his own that fits great and i think he does them for a good price too. just do a member search and send him a pm....
