If 2Gen CL owners are interested, I think you could easily find twenty of us to jump on the wagon to have this product. I saw the cover of AcuraGhosts's TL, and I am sold.

Where do I sign up?

I think around $260, not including shipping.

Mike, any news yet when I can pay?

What about a carbon fiber fuse-box cover?

I don't think these will ever be ready for production again. I don't know what's going on, but it's been three weeks since I first said I was ready to pay for one of these. What's going on Mike?!

I am working on a very large contract job right now that kind of pays the light bills at our shop. I should be back at it with the covers soon. I do these in the open slots in the schedule that I have as they are more labor intensive and offer less margin than some of the contract jobs I have. I offered you guys a really good deal on the initial release with real low margins attached. I dont want to take your money and then have you upset about lead times. If you want to send money right now...go ahead....I would only ask that you attach a four week lead to the order though in order for me to get a slot for it to be made in the schedule.

Again...I will be getting back on these TL covers soon in bulk! Mikey

OK Guys....the sale is back on. I have scheduled enough time for them to do about 5 - 10 covers over the next few weeks.

The following are the details of the sale:



1 Each Hand Laid Carbon Fiber Engine Cover/Bonnet

This engine cover was hand produced from a mold that is the same as OEM, therefore fitment issues will not be a problem whatsoever. Keep in mind this is a hand made and formed product, therefore material variations will occur from time to time and are not considered an initial defect….but part of the working process necessary to form compound bends and curves necessary to form a cover. Not all covers are the same as they are hand made…so if you have purchased multiple covers, they can and will vary slightly from one another depending upon where the material was cut from the roll.



There are a two (2) items you will need to remove from your stock plastic OEM engine cover and place onto the hand made carbon fiber cover.
  • Three ¼ Turn Hold Down Screws and Backside Retaining Rings
  • Three Strips of Adhesive Foam Isolation Strips
Sale Price $260 USD Delivered in the USA (if insurance is desired...add $5)
Paypal Account: mbenz@bellonsales.com
Check/money order also accepted

I will ship out the covers on a first come first served basis...meaning...once you have paid...your cover is in line for shipment next. Expected lead time from order payment to receiving order should be about 2 weeks. You may also send a check/money order to the address below:

Michael Benz, CPMR
Bellon Sales Associates
5511 East 82nd Street, Suite B
Indianapolis, IN 46250


At this time...only the BLACK colored carbon fiber covers will be available in this sale.

Here are some additional photos taken underhood:

??? 2 weeks...

Just a heads up Mr. Benz, Before you post today about having more ready,

I was the 1st to pay on the 21st. It is almost 3 weeks and I have yet to get an update. How about updating us waiting before you post about having more ready to send.

I am being patient here but want to know what the status is....

Thanks MB,

G

Wow...that was tactful. I will respond to this when I get up in the morning....but have you ever heard of a PM or was tossing this into a sales thread what you considered appropriate and being patient? I think it was you that was asking me to put these back into production wasnt it?

Sorry...my AZ sponsorship package ends at the end of the day and it appears that this might be the end of the sales here on Acurazine on the carbon fiber covers. I thank everyone for their support on this product that purchased! You may order through the end of today still though... I will still be around here from time to time....just will be back to a normal posting member like most of the rest of you guys! Mikey

As for colors....nope....no colored materials available at a decent price. Actually...black is getting harder and harder to source - price has increased on job lots significantly recently...but at the moment...we are still good!

My vendor subscription here on AZ is running out tody and it appears that the sale will cease at that time....so this may be the end of the road for the sale thread on carbon fiber covers guys.....

Note...anybody who has ordered and paid need not worry...I will still be around here no doubt and will be shipping your covers out shortly! Mikey


Again...I want to thank you guys for your support over the past three months! It was truely appreciated.

Mike,
I just want to make sure that I will receive the engine cover by the 20th of October, the end of this week. I need it for a car show. Thanks man, and good luck!
