Default Made my own carbon fiber engine bay covers
I needed something to cover up the holes in the engine bay from re-locating the battery and fuse boxes. I traced the covers out from cardboard. I called a local race shop that build race cars (Larson Race Cars) and he cut me out a sheet of carbon glass. I then cut out the carbon with a power saw. Results turned out great!

Looks great!!! Where did you get the CF from? Also where did you relocate your coolant overflow and do you have any pics of where it's mounted?

Nice, if you're pulling the front that high, a finished cage is definitely a wise idea

what paint did you use for the engine bay?
