But I bought one online for 450 and it got installed today, will post pics up for ya's when I get it back aparently the only issue was it sits a bit close on the front left headlight. but only noticeable if your really looking for it.

Cant find one anywhere :/ (going to try a car wreckers place and steal one off a wrecked FG)6 cyl won't work? And if it does, why not just put the insulation on from the bonnet you took off?
