Without the vanes what warming it does would likely take much longer. I had to add them after the fact as they were not present on my car when I purchased it from Kirk.

Same here. I pretty much had to drive a few miles up a grade to get my car up to “operating temperature.” With the new shroud and thermostat flaps, it warms up much faster. (Oddly enough, it also stays much cooler overall)

FWIW, the exhaust headers on my Spyder preclude using an actual VW thermostat so I just rigged up a choke cable to manually open/close the flaps. Last “winter” I never opened them once. I’m talking 40°-55° days.
