When I started reading this thread the other day, you had not started a lid yet. So I was going to give you the one I started a while back and try to save you some time!

Looks like you already have that more than covered now, and I like yours better! Very, very cool!

EDIT: Any more pics of the PS cover?

Damn. i dont usually post up patting backs, but that is sick. i wish i could work with my hands at all. if its painted or polished, its going to look factory. plus you get the satisfaction that you made it yourself.

Nah, I gave up on it a year ago. It's just a paper weight now.

I might set it up like the stock lid where the back slides in some slots and put a couple of bolts on the sides towards the front. I made the lid stick out futher then stock so that I can use the RAM AIR. I'm going to put a seal around the hood opening so that the air goes straight into th lid

the tube is angled down....but I think your right it's not 100% straight. When it's on the car you really don't notice it!

A big chunk of alum and a lathe (30 years of machine shop experience)

There not even close to being done, I'm going to bore holes in them to lighten them up and make them look better.
