Default Check out my engine Cover.

I had carbon fiber class last month in college so I made a few goodies for my truck.

Here is a engine cover thats orginally for a panoz race car. I used the mold they had in the shop. Its about 4 layers of carbon so its pretty light and very strong.
EngineCover
IntakeTube
Cover/IntakeTube

The cover fits pretty nice on top of our truck intakes. I'll get some pictures of the cover on the motor as soon as I get the motor back in the truck.

Excellent job! You should get a patent on those things and make some big bucks, I like to have the intake tube.

Thanks guys. Yeah carbon fiber class was pretty sweat we got the carbon for free but only had a couple of weeks to make the stuff. I cant remember what the price of carbon fiber is but its not cheap.
