Anyone have any interest in a Carbon Fiber Motor Cover? I have a G35 that I am in the process of changing. I put MMR 20" wheels on it and put and a 5.1 surround system. I redid the mirror mounts in carbon fiber and I am in the process of taking my stock Plenum cover and making a mold. Then I am going to make a new one out of solid Carbon Fiber. I will post pics along the way. I will probably make the first one out of fiberglass and modify the center so that it is smooth.

 

you know they already exist right?

 

Yes I do but I like to do it myself. I have done my mirror mounts and the thing on the door where you roll the window down on the G35 and numerous things on my race boat.

 

A full CF plenum exists? Or am I getting confused in what this guy is doing?

 

engine cover.

 

So why would he need a mold of the plenum? I think this will be way cooler if it's molded to the shape of the plenum...

 

you need to re-read his post... he's not making a mold of the plenum - he's making a mold of the cover... he's making a CF engine cover.

And why would you want a cover the shape of the plenum? The only reason for the cover is to hide the ugly **** around the engine (wire harness, timing cover, etc)... why would you want to cover only the plenum? Most of us leave the plenum uncovered anyway to dissipate heat.

 

He tricked me

I'll buy one if you can tint the resin certain colours.
