CF Engine Covers anyone....

Just wanted to share a recent project....doing all the covers under the hood. For the main cover I removed the "v6 3.5"....don't need that. So away with it and smoothed it all out. Also flushed the emblem indent. The emblem will go back on but cleaner if its all flush. For the batt/brake fluid covers actually doing some customizing on those too so stayed tuned...Here's a few of the progress on the main cover.

Can't wait to see the finished project, I remember seeing those 370z covers you did in red a while back. Awesome!

Few updates.....I decided that the batt/bf outer rings would have looked crappy if I just wrapped them so decided to do a little customizing before cf. With the help of some expandable foam I filled the low spots around the edge and did some fiberglass to give the shape. This will overall make the cf work much more noticeable when done and IMO come out pretty badass!!!!

Thanks guys....I think best way if anyone wanted to keep the silver would be yo just do my work like normal. And then at the end before I spray with clear I could tape of the section and paint silver, then clearcoat.
