Aftermarket panels. Even with glass and carbon fiber, needed work to be perfectly smooth and line up properly

The engine cover came out quite amazing. Not sure if its TOO much orange, but I can always go over some of the lines with black if necessary.

Looks great. Why the breaks in the orange outermost stripe?

All the orange is inlay. The breaks are flush carbon fiber.

With the new carbon fiber hood and glass window, I was torn up with the horrible boring looking engine cover to be shown through the hood. This hydrodipped MASTERPIECE of carbon fiber with orange accents and orange pearlcoat clear coat came out better than I could have ever anticipated!

So finally, I've found a picture of tornado wheels refinished in black chrome, and I am in love. I am going to have mine blasted and refinished in this stainless steel type look.

Also, we will be fabricating 1, 2, 7, 8, & 9 custom intakes in aluminum to increase blower whine, and come up with better flowing filters.

Cant decide which emblem I like more for the front. Caliper decals are in though.

When you say 1 & 2 are you fabricating new filter housings as well or just the two round sections within those respective diagram boxes?

The housings will become straight tubes.
