The "protection border" on Thunderbolt's blowers are called "Blower covers". Also, what blowers have you seen without covers? I'm guessing blowers that are indoors, or in siren graveyards.

No, I wanna buy a siren without a Blower cover from West Shore Services, but I was just questioning it's name.

You can buy a Thunderbolt with a blower cover and take it off (using screws, I think?), so you don't have to find one that actually works without a cover. Usually, blowers that have no covers would be in worse condition than ones with, because they are hit by the weather more.

Also, do you know how much a Thunderbolt usually costs?

They cost probably around $400-500, maybe.
