Default Carbon fiber cover for FAST LSXr

I need a real carbon fiber cover for the intake. Does anyone make one?

That doesn't look quite right lemons. Tried hydro graphics before, and wasn't pleased; didn't have the same texture as the weave.

Could you use a stock ls3 intake cover and wrap it?

The 102 might be too tall for a cover.. Would be worth a shot. Probably have to add some spacers to make it sit high enough to clear the intake. But in an fbody you would then run into cowl clearance issues. Could maybe cut a section out though.

Looking at the crazy contouring on the FAST; it doesn't appear like it would fit well. That is certainly worth a shot, though. The only one I saw for a stock manifold is the one sold by Pinnacle, but it looks like the edges won't sit flush because of the way the FAST is made.
