Ben,
Thanks for your comments.
Shrouding is basically modifed version of OEM 2Gb Eclipse shroud(all models). I trimmed it just enough to cover FMIC and i kept sides a little longer to fill in gaps on sides of FMIC. I finished the job with aluminum tape to ensure air can't escape except via condenser and radiator. I still use OEM plastic reinforcement bar and it clears over shrouding just fine. See the pics


Nice! Actually almost identical to what I did minus the foil tape. Good idea. I'll definitely be adding that to seal it off. I did the same on the sides, left it a little long and slit the corners to allow it to open up around the edges of the FMIC. Not a very tight seal though so I'll be adding the foil to give the air only one way to go, across the rad.

1996 "Canary" Talon...give it any gas and it's dead
