Any interest in some new custom engine dress up covers?

I have been working on some custom engine dress up covers for my engine bay... And was thinking about sending them off to a manufacturer to get molded so reproductions could be made in carbon fiber or fiberglass. Question is.... Would any of you guys be interested in something like this for the masses to purchase? Or should I just finish out and keep for myself.


The blue is blue painters tape so when I fiberglass the models to make rigid the resin will not seep.

i'm a bit crazy when it comes to symmetry.. but I would make the left side match the right side.. i'm pretty sure that little piece jutting out on the right piece is covering something.. but to my eye it just doesn't look right..

i do like the center piece over the radiator

They can't be symmetrical. Both sides are diff. Part on right is covering diagnostic box,chats to be tight so SRIs can fit

as far as prices those will have to be determined by the manufacturer doing them, ive been busy lately and haven't had a chance to get resin and glass on these parts yet

Looks pretty cool, but I personally hate dealing with fiberglass. Wonder what the cost difference would be to take the mock ups to a plastic shop and have them made out of plastic.
