the notch for the back pass side is actually for the transmission dip stick and wiring harness, the cover actually goes over the evap

I was gonna ask the same question once he decided if he was going to. If he did decide to make them I'm sure he would, it would be easier to not notch it for the dipstick.

i could make it without the notch for the dipstick, it would just be a square corner like the front of the driver side

Nice looking covers!
Just wondering one thing though, would the covers be trapping heat from the intake?

im not really sure how to ask this but here it goes anyway. PM me what you think these are worth price wise. ive seen them as low as 80 - 90 for corvette covers and as high as 190 for aluminum covers that were discontinued, im just trying to get an idea

Really depends on what you think your time is worth to make them. How long does it take to make a set? If you do decide to make some I'd buy a set unpainted forsure.
