ill take a measurment or pic and post it up later


EDIT !! i just went out and measured..the plate starts narrow at the bottom and gets wider as it gets to the top..its at least an inch at the bottom and shy of 2 inches at the top.. i have pics but cant download from here.. ill do it tomorrow.
Kori.. here are the pics as promised


Here is a pick with the wheel turned all the way out to the left.. i just stuck my iphone in the wheel well and went as low and as far as possible with the flash.. this shows the open entry that airflow will have once collected by the scoop in the plate. note the direct shot into the center of the rotor / hub area.

i think i stated before, that the plate can be bent out a little farther.. this is with the plate in its natural position. the limit is the bottom halfo of the scoop as it may rub the control arm
