Engine bay cover
 
We are currently designing an engine bay cover like the Panspeed/Knightsports versions. We will be made using the vacuum infusion process and offered in Fiberglass or Carbon fiber (2x2 Twill)

Price:TBD

Some pics. We will update as we go along.

**NOTE** the straight lines will be complete and close the gap from the cover and strut tower, we are unhappy with how this came out so we are rethinking our approach

I'm diggin this. I was wondering about something to cover the fan relays area and the driver's side in the same area. I'd also like to have a radiator cooling plate that fits my setup too, so...whenever you have a chance. LOL

Speed We'll keep that in mind =) Cooling plates may need to be a custom thing since there is too many different configurations to make a universal one for all fd's

a little bit of progress... I re-did the flange as it was slightly off and it was reallyyyyy bothering me.

LOL I was joking about the cooling plate, specifically for the reason you gave.

You know this is Eric from Trash Talk, right? I'm going to buy Adrian's cooling plate and modify it for my setup.

How will this effect the heat -cooling air flow with stock hood ? I bet no one understands how much work goes into a prototype as nice as this .

muibubbles 11-24-2012 11:26 PM

Honestly, I cant see it effecting anything really. its essentially a "second" hood. I dont see it trapping any more heat then it would with the hood closed. Air flow is something i will need to test!

Thanks for the compliment, I thought this was going to be easy, and I was wrong haha
