Default Engine cover?

Has anybody done anything to the engine cover like make a new one are covered it. I was thinking about covering it with carbon fiber but like to get some other ideas. Oh and painting it is out the question.... Thanks

I think i might just do the carbon fiber idea but I'm not sure yet. I'd have to see if I still have some clear resin lying around.

I'm just not into the painting idea, but that's just me. Either I'm going to cover it with CF or bios a new one. Just don't know yet.

That's what I was hoping for, for others to share of what they have done. I'm not into painted plastic parts ( not saying nothing bad about it ) so I hope we can share ideas. All I can come up with is CF and before I start on it just like to see what's been done. I'm sure as more people comment you will have a bunch of ideas.

I know the Camaro cover fits with some minor trimming. I wish i could add those corvette coil covers to help clean up the appearance.
