"Custom" engine cover

I was hoping to find a set of covers from a Legend, but they cost more than i want to pay (from what i've found so far)

So instead, i did this!

It's in rough form right now. I need to sand the edges, make them straight, and paint them.
If my Type II manifold had the badge on it, i would have cut it farther down, so it could be seen.

The left DOES look thicker, doesnt it. Its weird because i measured it. I was thinking of using door edge protecter strips around the hole, but i think i will just paint it.

Waste... Us 96s have the nice cover, too. Should've cut up a 97-98 with the black lettering and the A.

~Cheers~

Came out better than expected, although I think it looks better without the grill. Good job!

~Cheers~
