My attempt...

Realize this is an old thread...but wanted to show you what I tried with my engine cover. Wanted to create a fake carbon fiber look. Saw this done on youtube, and I thought I'd try it...
My step-by-step is here...

Mel... yours looks great with the contrasting colors...
Guys, I found my extra cover on Ebay for $30 bucks...
try Craigslist, salvage yards, or post up on different forums! Good Luck!
Post a pic if you paint your covers... I'd like to see 'em!

DX 08 GXP -- that looks AWESOME! But I bet that either took a long time, or was very expensive to do...or have done! Mine cost less than $50.00, and took about 3 hours!
Still... your cover is definitely SHOW QUALITY! Great Job!
