Re: Attention Crawford plenum owners!!!

I thought the carbon fiber engine covers have been out for awhile already. I've seen pics of it on a lot of people's cars. As a matter of fact I just found the link to a place that sells it. http://www.i-m-racing.com/spcafienco35.html

Wait a sec...you want people to send you $5 and provide personal contact info when you aren't providing any proof of product, past credentials or contact info of your own? No offense man, but you're asking for a lot on faith.

Re: Attention Crawford plenum owners!!!

I am not asking you to pay 5 dollars right now. I am saying When I have products ready after 2 weeks so they cant back it up. I m sorry If I mislead you on those paragraph.
I am going to post up pics as soon as they are made.
Dont worry I am not doing this to make 100 bucks out of it.

No offense taken. To each his own. However, I happen to like the look a lot. But, did you have to say it twice? LOL.

Ramo

A friend and I did it with a dremel tool. We first made a template with a flat piece of cardboard, then cut the cardboard oversize until we had a rough fit. It was oversize, because you can remove material, but you can't add it. Once we were satisfied with it, we traced it onto the cover for our first rough cut. We then refined the cut, until we were happy with the fit. In addition, I changed one of the plenum mounting bolts to a stud, so I would have a rear attachment. See the bolt on the left rear? It took about 45 minutes.

Re: Attention Crawford plenum owners!!!

For a commercial venture I'd think modifying the 350Z cover would be a better choice.

Here's mine, debadged. (Latter destroyed while curing the paint).

Re: Attention Crawford plenum owners!!!

The problem with using the "Z" cover, IMO, is that it's longer (in front) and comes too close to the center air scoop, if you're still using it. You're not using it, I am. Also, I sort of like the Infiniti emblem and the two tone color scheme. Your's looks good however. But, I prefer the look of the modified original cover. JMO.

Since you don't know the difference that picture at IM racing is a 350Z engine cover, not a G.
