    Anyone try to mod an active louver/shutter solution tied to the ICE temp sender or other signal source rather than the other block off methods used (pipe insulation, plastic covers, etc) something like Tesla, the Volt and others are running? There's some pretty some creative folks around this board who are not afraid to mod their rides. Just wondering if any one has chased an idea like this or if its just another one of my pipe dreams.

    i have not seen it. i think it can be done, but the trouble/cost outweighs the desire.

    I'm sure that's the case as it wouldn't be for the typical modder. A fair amount of engineering would have to go in to something like this.

    I'll have to monitor Magna Industries to see if they ever intend on offering aftermarket kits. Probably not but a boy can dream.
