So ive been doing the whole JDM thing with my car and i need to do something about my engine cover.

My question is what do I use to fill up the concave emptiness left after taking out the INFINITI emblem on engine cover? So i can make it smooth enough to replace with my Nissan Emblem



Just tryin to get ideas.
Thanks

 

bondo and some paint?

 

any regular bondo, i think there are more chemicals out in the world than just bondo . The texture has to be almost the same as the product.

Simple solution, replace it with a C/F 350Z cover and paint it body color like I did. OE engine covers are fugly and look worse when someone tries to mod them....

all you need is bondo and paint. problem solved.

 

+1 that would be the only thing that looks acceptable...

 

no bondo. i would plastic weld the spot and then take it down level and repaint the whole cover

 

The nissan cover doesnt even fill the oval before sticking the emblem in there

 

awesome , thanks for the pics. do they sell Bondo in small oz bottles, i do not need much , if i screw up ill just buy the C/F cover

 

I sorta did both: got an OEM 350Z cover, filled the hamburger hole with Bondo, sanded it flush, painted body colour and applied the Infiniti logo with 2-sided tape (you could re-drill the holes, or block them with something removable while you Bondo/paint). Also slipped a lil CF cloth under there for something different. I was able to buy it in a 425 gram size with a small tube of hardener.

 

that looks awesome ^ great job, so any old bondo, where is it sold ?

 

Yeah I like that SwivelHips, very original.

 

i would recc. evergreen bondo. dont buy the crappy red/pink stuff from pepboys. goto a paint supply store and ask for evergreen

 

Canadian Tire, LOL!

Thanks, man! Now I gotta do something with the rest of my bay.
