Guess since it's my car I can answer that. That's a couple hundered $'s worth of real carbon fiber there infused under a vacuum with crystal clear resin and temperature cured. Took a LOT longer than 2 hours to make!!

Just curious to know if it turned out well using the K&N filterbox... ~Joshua

I'm ALWAYS in the middle of a project, it's my hobby. The cover fits great with the polished BMR radiator support and the K&N FIPK. I'm thinking about selling the LS6 Hugger Orange intake and doing something else. Maybe a very "stealthy" blacked out look for the whole engine bay, with touches of chrome/polish of course, don't know yet.
