Yup...real deal. Sold it to some member here.
Engine cover was like $250. The entire engine bay was a little more. Like $1300. Since the Engine cover was mass produced at that time and the engine bay was an one off custom job.

I wanted to do my engine bay in carbon fiber too but didn't want to afford $1000+ for the real thing. I bought some vinyl carbon fiber and tried (for a 2nd time) to apply it to the front piece of the engine pieces....it didn't work-again.

I might paint it now instead.
