starionheaven Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Im lookin to see if anyone is interested in one of these covers for the front end of the engine bay. Its made of aluminum and fits perfectly. No mods required. Hoods close nicely and help keep air directed towards your engine bay, radiator, and intercooler. I can manufacture these pretty quickly and paint them any color for an extra fee or you can do it yourself. I added stickers to mine and it really livens up the engine bay. See for yourself. http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3732/plate0015df.jpg http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/531/plate0020nj.jpg Oh yea, these are not *DM products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starionheaven Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 If you can get me the name of the color, thatd be a huge help. If not, I will do my best to match off of any photos that you send to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 It's probably Mexican Red he's refering to? The color code would be an easier way to get a definate match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitamincj Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Just an FYI. The stock hood has "channels" in it to funnel cool air to certain spots in the back of the engine bay. If you have that plate in place it looks like it would block that airflow. Pop your stock hood and look at the underside. You will see the "channels" I am referring to. Just to be clear, I am not poopoo'ing on the idea I am just letting you know. CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionheaven Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I want to be reasonable with the price. Each one will take at least an hour to make. So lets say about $40 shipped unpainted or $45 painted. Lemme know what you guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriDogBusa Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'm going to have to take a look under my hood this weekend (to check on the channels that CJ mentioned)..... but pending the results of that, I'll most likely be in for one.Painted in a nice gloss black. I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow_down Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I will be in. Just tell me when to pay.J.H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionheaven Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 since the water tank reserve is under this area, Its best that its easy to get to. So this cover simply lays over the bolts that are there and doesnt even move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly Boosted Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 ya but how can it "not even move" at 140mph with nothing holding it in place. dont get me wrong i want it I just dont want it to be rubbing on my 83 hood. I had to change my resovore to the 85 style to fit my intercooler in there so thats not an issue for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
