Lancer Top Shroud Plate- do we have one avail.?

Sup guys.
i feel this is more cosmetic than performance oriented so i put it here.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of someone who makes a shroud cover for our cars (lancers, not evos) It would be nice to have, especially to cover that gap between the radiator, not to mention its "supposed" to increase air flow to the radiator by eliminating some of that trapt air bouncing around, which would be good too no doubt. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a pic...

Thanks again guys!

They have a dress up kit.

Not sure how this would work on our cars.

Edit: this would be your best bet.
www.roadracemotorsports.com just look under the Lancer section in 'Dress up'.

that one piece style one helps direct the air flow. It's not possible to have a functional one piece one on an 02-03 lancer. if you open your hood you will see that the top of the front bumper(where the bottom of the grill touchs) is way lower than the top of the radiator. they do make them for 04+ lancers and evos though

Even without the CF the air still goes in the same direction. The CF is dress-up.
