Hey Broke 1 since you are going to ebay it please post some pix.. I really want to see what the repro GNX looks like.

I'll post some pics of a repro shield. This one has been cut for a TH downpipe.

There is a lot of work that went into these.

X Rated, Thank very much for posting some pix. For some reason i started a collection of turbo covers. It looks like ALOT of workmanship/skill went into the construction of the cover. Those GNX covers are very nice!!

PS. TurboRegal84, Is it possible to delite the undesirable comments posted earlier? Thanks

I cant beleive you cut it

Mine,I would have to cut for an ext WG and I really didnt want to do that!

whats wrong with cutting it?

 

[broke1]

Because its priceless,even as a reproduction.Id be fairly certain that no more will ever be made.

X Rated,do you want to sell the one you have?

If a repro is worth $1250 how much is a real GNX turbo shield worth?

 

[broke1]

Id say $2500+ if its brand new.Look at what the jackets,books,turbos and cars go for...

They are not reasonably priced like they used to be...

 

[Boost231]

thats just crazy. im sure if someone wanted to you could get them made again. i cant see why anyone would pay that much for a turbo shield. yes there rare but that much money for a heat sheild.

 

[broke1]

No different than someone paying $5k for a GNX turbo I guess....

I mean for $5k,you could get a whole Grand National.

Ask Joe H would he make you one

I cut it because I wanted a GNX shield on my car, but If I had an external wastegate I would not have. I bought a repo for $250 to cut so I didn't have to modify the original. My dad also bought and cut one for his car. If I knew at the time they would appreciate $1000 I would have bought all that Joe Harrington had. This is an easy fix to put it back right and it doesn't look that bad on a car with or without a TH downpipe.

I paid $450 for mine and it was supposedly the last one Joe had...this was about 3-4 years ago.

Even the DC Tech sheilds sold for $400+....If you paid $250,that was a steal!

They might have been $275, but they weren't more than $300.

Turbo covers are really kool, take a look at my avatar. Those Turbo covers are the ones that do our cars justice and they look good. I am going to get a GNX cover to add to the collection.

 

[broke1]

Cool avatar!

I think they definetely add that "finishing touch" under the hood.

XRated,ill be happy to buy yours for $300 if youll sell it.
