Steve,

My experience has been that the blisters are much needed.  Couldn't get 
temps right without them.  I even installed an electric cowl flap behind the 
nose gear fairing that I use on really hot days.

The shop that did the finish work on my ES built the blisters.  They were 
not available from the factory when my plane was being completed.

Any good fiberglass shop, Corvette repair, street rod body shop.......should 
be able to make the molds and build the blisters.  Will probably cost quite 
a bit more than the ones from Lancair, but shouldn't take three months to 
get, either.

If I were building now, I would probably use the IV lower cowl.
