symmetrical engine cover...

does anyone make an aftermarket engine cover that doesn't have the cut out where the stock air box fit in?

i'm kinda thinking about putting some fiberglass on mine and just seeing how it works. worried about the heat though with the seam between the fiber and the plastic, they probably expand and contract at different rates...

Check my garage, I have a 350Z c/f engine cover that I painted and made my own Infiniti emblem. I did require my modding the left side with my Dremmel tool for line clearance....two minutes.

PM SxExCx (Sean) he does some of the best polish work on the planet, and his prices are right! All you need is a PayPal account.
There's a little town 40 miles south east of Indianapolis called Spiceland where my roots are, cousin still lives there on a beautiful farm....farms are if you don't have to work em!

Very true about farms. I would polish the plenum over getting a new engine cover!
