The red carbon fiber is simply bad-***.. very nice start!! 
Now, de-sticker the bay.. re-route the small wires, do the !wire mod and get a batter cover or optima/cover..
Later we can talk about plating.. Nice start though I like the "flow"..

I got the insulation from Jegs. Its made by Cool It. I don't remember what it was called for sure but I think it was Thermo Flex. I'm sure you can find it by the brand

I'm already ahead of you, I have a battery cover here are a couple of pics. Tell me what you all think about it
I want to do the !wire mod but I'm affraid to do it right now. Maybe when I have some time off of work and the car can sit I'll do it. Where would I reroute the smaller wires and which wires? I plan on losing the AIR hoses soon so that should help too.

Well crap steve I didn't even notice that the cf was going a different direciton. I was more worried about the emblem running the same way as the cover.
I'm going to do the MANLY wire mod but I need to get the ***** to do it 1st. There is something about messing with those wires that worries me.

SAWEEET!! The frc's are hot! I like the battery cover. How much was the cover? You said RK sports? I tried to look up that Carbon Fiber Works but couldn't find it. You got the link??
Thanks a lot.
