I used a dremel and cut my engine cover to fit with my SSV. My first attempt is the blue painted one which warped a bit where the red circle is. This time I left a center bracket to keep it from warping and I also kept the top portion attached for more stability. I still have sanding to do to even out some of the lines and smooth it out...

What do you think?

Also... I need opinions on if I should paint the center blue again or paint the outside blue and leave the center like it is?





First attempt:

The red circle is very faint, it is in the center at the V6.

 

Wow Definetly one of a kind.

 

very creative

 

definitely unique - haven't seen anything like that. props!

 

excellent work bro, great job

my opinion would be to paint the outside blue and the V6 and 3.5

the rest as is

 

Thanks guys...

And I like that idea Basheer, Thanks

 

Yep, good job and like the idea. I think it would look good if you just painted V6 and 3.5 blue. Just my opinion though. Either way it looks great.

 

wow nice custom set up............10 points for originality

 

the kinetix is a nice piece, why go through all the effort of covering it up?

i'd spend time to clean up the engine bay, wipe down some parts, and showcase it off.

 

I don't really like the void on the right side of the Kinetix and feel it is missing something so I got the dremel warmed up... I like how it helps clean up the look since I dont have an AAM fuel kit there to help it out... My engine bay is due for a good cleaning some day soon...

Here is a pic of my old engine cover painted, I might try to go this route again since it looked pretty darn good but I also liked Basheer's idea....

 

nice job!!

 

I like it, good idea.

 

 

I wouldn't hide that cool plenum with a hacked up cover but if you like it enjoy.
