Carbon Fiber Engine Cover
As most of you know it is almost impossible to find CF parts for our 2nd gens. I am talking with another member about possibly have some CF engine covers done and wanted to see what kind of interest there would be about having these made. I am not sure what the price will be at the moment but the more people that are interested the cheaper it will be. Here's some pictures of what kind of work has been done on his car: https://acurazine.com/forums/showt...598&highlight=
Let's start a list on who would be interested. You will not be tied in to purchasing if you put your name down. When more details become available I will post them here. You can drop out whenever you like. I'll start it.

What Nuckz23 was talking about was getting REAL carbon fiber.
But I know where we can get that done if we want.
On that engine cover tegkid posted...came off a CL.
A buddy of mine picked this up yesterday at our North Cal. meet and it's interesting because it looks good but it doesn't look "authentic."
What they do is:
1) They spray a black base coat
2) Then dip the pieces into some solution
3) Lay th graphic over it
4) Then activate some reaction that transfers the graphic to the specific item filling in all the cracks, corners, flawlessly
5) Then spray clear coat on top.
Looks good for what it is.

I'm sure that a lot of people haven't caught the thread.
Maybe...you can point a link to this thread in the 2nd Gen CL side to acquire more interest. (.02)

Is it possible to move that sensor cutout back or just make a hump to cover it completely for those of us with P2R spacers?
