It took a while to make my Carbon Fiber radiator slash radiator support cover.
I got two made. One is for my 04 DTR. And the other belongs to Chris owner of ADTR.NET.
For his Blue Mercury Marauder. I am posting some pictures of mine here. They came out fabulous.
It is freaking cold here in the South Bronx New York. And we are getting hit with a big snow storm.
Starting today until tomorrow. So i won't be able to install mine yet. But as soon as i can. I will be installing it.
Plus i have to ship Chris cover for his Blue Marauders. Plus he is sending me new radiator cover slash radiator suppot.
Clips for my panel. Being i have one that is messed up already. But once everything is here. And i ship out Chris panel. And the weather is better. I will post pictures of my car with it installed along with my ADTR STAGE 2 Supercharger kit.

There not forsale yet. I am waiting for Chris to get his. And if he likes them. Like i do. Then he will be taking orders. And i will get them done. And get the ball rolling. We will be working with the maker to do other Carbon Fiber stuff for Mercury Marauders.

Hey i am waiting on Chris from ADTR. To get his. And once he give me to okay. He will be taking orders. And i can't say a price.
For i made a deal with him. That i will get them made. But he is the vendor. Now if he doesn't like them. Which i know will not be the case. Then it will be a totally different story. So let me send his to him. And then he will take orders and give everyone the price.

Any chance of making a CF wiper cowl cover?

I'm willing to pay right now if the answer is yes.

Cool, I’ve hanged around with Chris at the car shows in California. Hopefully it’s to his standards and you guys can make some more!

I am going tl have to talk to the gentelman that makes them for me. To see if he can make one. I don't see why he can't make a wiper cowl cover. I just have to get one from the salvage yard. So he can make a template. And start making them. I will let you know.

$500-1000 as a guess, the others were made out of unobtainium, it would be good if there was another source. But it is still a lot of work even after the buck is made, hence my guess on the price.

Pro tip, if you coat it with automotive clear coat, it can be brought back after a shop manages to screw it up for you, no matter how many times you tell them how irreplaceable it is, they don’t care about your stuff. It’s all games till you hand them the bill.

Please follow up with me. Some of us with big blowers could use a custom cowl for clearance.

I am in the South Bronx the dirty South the Mott Haven area. So if you want one. Let me know. So i can put you on the list. On the Carbon Fiber radiator and Radiator support covers.

That radiator cover looks fantastic! I would definitely be interested. I think a carbon fiber treatment to the upper intake manifold and / or valve covers and coil covers would also look terrific!

I’m interested in the CF radiator cover as well. It looks great! Nice to see new products coming out for our cars, hopefully Chris at ADTR will add it to his catalog!

Ambitious1 yes sir me and Chris From ADTR are working on more Carbon Fiber parts for our Mercury Marauders. So stay tuned.

MM03 all i got to do is send Chris at ADTR his Carbon Fiber radiator slash radiator support cover. We got hammered with snow Thursday to Friday. Here in the bronx New York. So i haven't had a chance. To send him cover. We came up with this idea. Because the Carbon Fiber radiator support covers weren't out on the market. And very rairly do they cone up for sale. The people that have to one's made back then. Are lucky but now you all will get a chance to buy one. We aren't going to do to many of them. Also going to make wiper cowl grills in Carbon Fiber too. Limited number of them. God willing so stay tuned fellas.

That's great that someone is making the CF goodies again!

The original CF stuff is very rare.

I always wanted to replace the plastic Fuse Box Covers and Throttle Body Cover with CF pieces....but no one ever produced/offered them.

CF cam covers would be sick!

Joe Walsh those are real cool ideas. But there small pieces. That is going to be hard to do and can't sell for much. Now the Valve covers can be made. But there not going to be cheap. We got a few parts in our plans to be made in limited numbers.

Good to see someone is getting these made again. Do you suppose you could get someone to make a duplicate of the Roush spoiler?

Sorry didn't work out. I got mine made. But were not making them anymore. Plus I was asking for them $450 each plus the trip. And all the Marauder owners on the Marauder and panther facebook pages. Were all saying it was too much money. And that they would hydro dip there plastic one. For cheaper and that it will look much better. So it was a good Idea. But the people spoke and made us scrap the plan. So I just got mine done.
