    3 Probelms. 1 Clever Solution.

    • Innovative Integrated Tool Tray
    • Keeps Radiator Running Cooler
      (directs air through radiator)
    • Built-In Radiator Stays
      (much cleaner looking than competing products)
    • Heavy Duty DuPont Powder Coat
      (repeatedly toss tools in tray with no damage)
    How many times have you lost a wrench or socket in your engine bay? Yeah, that's what I thought, too many to count. Finally after all of these years of losing tools, GrimmSpeed has come to the rescue. Introducing our Subaru Radiator Shroud w/ Integrated Tool Tray. Another common issue that we are fixing is that in stock form, because of the way the front of the Subaru is designed, there is incoming air that doesn't actually pass through the radiator because of some large gaps in sealing at the top. Our shroud forces this air back through the radiator which in turn keeps the radiator cooler. Thirdly, we snuck in yet another cool little feature that you won't find on other radiator shrouds; we have incorporated the radiator stays into our shroud. Yep, you can now ditch those OEM stays and transition over to our super clean approach to using the shroud as the radiator stay. Wrap all of this up in some Heavy Duty DuPont™ Wrinkle Powder Coat and you have yourself a sexy little innovative package.

    "This is another great example of not green lighting a project until our Engineering Team can find a way to innovate. The Shroud project was in our project queue for over a year before I gave the go ahead...why?...because we needed to find a way to bring new solutions to our customers instead of just releasing a product for the sake of just releasing a product" - Justin Grimm

    Promising to deliver, it's what you can expect from GrimmSpeed™


    Fitments:
    Subaru Impreza 02-07
    Subaru WRX 02-07

    Cool! Might a Forester version be in the pipeline? "Gee, I'd be happy to be happy to be a guinea pig" ;)

    Not without trimming a bit. Mishimoto move the cap so its not in the oem position.

    It would also be cool if under that tool area was a big magnet, then the sockets and screws wouldn't accidentally fall off.

    This is something that we threw around the entire time we've been developing this product. There are a few reasons that we decided against it on our end, but we definitely encourage the DIYers to make it happen. I may even help.

    Not sure if anyone else knows this, get an old hard drive and break it open and use the magnets from that! They are super small and slim and very strong. That would fit easily on the back side of that tray!

    Awesome, added to my wish list!

    Did you guys think about the suggestion of adding magnets to the bottom of the tool try to help keep the tools in place?

    Sounds like the magnets are a no-go.

    You're welcome to get yourself some magnets and clue 'em on the bottom of the tray. I did some testing and it works just fine, the only problem is that nice magnets added a good bit of cost to the product, which is no good!

    On a similar note, the first person with an 08+ wrx/sti and a mishimoto radiator to call me and come in for some photos will get to keep the shroud FOR FREE IM YELLING!

    Pretty sure that you'd have to glue a magnet on there if you chose to do so. It IS made of aluminum with a DuPont coating. I have some magnets that are the size of a pencil eraser that are insanely powerful! It's hard to get them off of the fridge without sliding them up to the corner of it, lol.

    If you had said "SG Forester", I would have dropped what I was doing and driven over... Even with the car as dirty as it is right at the moment.
