The new engine cover is almost complete. There are a few fitting issues that need to be taken care of, and three rubbing spots as well. This is made of fiberglass from a cardboard overlay, then masked and laid resign on it. 36 hours later, this is what it turns into. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks
OH, BTY, my website is finally up so check it out and give me some input. Thanks.

This is for looks only right? There's no functionality/performance to it, is there?

VERY unique! Great craftsmanship. But it looks like, especially with the TT set-up you would have a BIG heat issues? Looks cool though.

It is strictly for shows only. I take if off for fun rides, and track days. I just wanted something different. Everyone shows off their Engine, and I wanted to hide mine. My water temp rose a whopping 3 degrees. It does not effent water or oil temps at all.

The engine is a beautiful thing. Why would you want to cover it. It's like putting a mask on a womans face if she's pretty. honest opinion. Not feeling it. But I give you 2 thumbs up for being different.

When you see it person, it look amazing! The fitment and work that went into had to be astronomical! I say rock it for the shows! It looks awesome! How many VQ's can you see with samco's and a lil polishing? LOL The turbos you couldn't really se from the top of the engine bay anyway so I say rock it to the shows for sure! It look great in person. I think it needs a lil splash of paint work or airbrushing although the clean look of it looks great too. Kinda looks like a Chip Foose Motor now! NICE JOB!!!

My option is that our engine bay is Horrible looking. I'm an old school muscle car guy, and nothing beats a 454 engine, all polished. But again, I am glad that people are being honest. Thanks for the input everyone.
