UPDATE: PCM cover on post #36
Got some spare 2024 T-3 and decided to make a couple of my own covers that i've seen on here before. My engine bay is dirty but I think the covers came out decent. I just simply cut them out with card board, made the appropriate trim cuts, bend radius, and rounded them off.

Then took the pieces of cardboard to work and sheared some aluminum to the shapes I wanted and applied the bends with our new metal break.

After cleaning and filing everything up, I scuffed them with a medium grade scotch brite, primed, and painted. Here they are!

No clearance issues...Any feedback??? Does it look tacky?
