radiator cover

borto1990 · 03-15-2009, 09:30 PM

looking to get some chrome around the radiator cover for the 08. however, looks like I don't see any that are for the 08. Do any of the other years share the same radiator cover?

Don't take this as the definitive answer, but I doubt if there are any differences in radiators or anything else in the 1600 Nomads (2005 through 2008), except for the paint, of which we know Blue and Silver is the best but that is even further from the answer you looking for. Actually, I've be thinking about getting a chrome radiator cover as well, besides looks, that is a vulnerable area for road hazards.

I think Ells is correct, the 05-08 are basically unchanged as far as accessories go.

I got this one, it actually does not list the 05 Nomad (or nay Nomad) as a fit on any sites I checked, but it does fit on 05-07 Nomads. I have not seen anyone try on an 08, but see no reason that it would not.

I bought this one on E-bay I think I gave $35.00 for it.

yea, I know the 05-08's are the same, didn't know if anything beyond that was the same. Strobe, this is pretty much what I am looking for.. I'll check her out more closely in the morning.. thanks

Here's a little better look at the Show Chrome cover.

There's also a place that makes custom covers. You pretty much have to click every link on the site to get the information you need. The site isn't very intuitive. Still, they seem to do nice work.

Thats the one I have on my '06 Nomad. Bought locally I paid about 1/2 of what ShowChrome is charging for mine. Here's a link to my photobucket pics if you want to look.
