Well in my case, my TR-6 was missing the cardboard radiator shroud when I
purchased it. Considering that my car is not a show car, and I do quite a
bit of work on it I wanted something that would look nice, be very durable,
and would clean up well. Not to mention the fact that cardboard readily
absorbs moisture and retains it quite well too...
As for beauty, it looks much better installed as seen at
