starionheaven Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Sorry I havent replied, I was down in LA working on these plate covers. They wont move because they fit in perfectly, so its kinda wedged in there and with it laying over the bolts that are in the front of the engine bay, those lock it into place. Unless you plan on driving with your hood removed, then you wont encounter any problems. Oh yea, Im almost done with the first 4, but since my dremel tool burned out, fuckin craftsman, I need to get another to complete the finishing touches. I should have another by tomorrow and report any updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19cQuest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 What material and thickness is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionheaven Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 These are made from aluminum and its not too thick because if it were, you'd never get your hood closed. The first batch of 4 are pretty much ready and I have painted my first one for a member on *DMperformance.com. Pics will be up later on tonite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogun Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 hey whats going on with these?? I need to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionheaven Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 oh man are you serious? The guy on *DMperformance got it fine with no bends. I guess Ill have to put something stiff in with the packaging. to prevent this from happening... But do understand that they have to be thin in order for your hood to close. If I would go anything thicker, the hood would be popped up a bit I have 2 more that are ready, still unpainted. First to send money gets them. If you want it painted, lemme know in your PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plavacca Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 How about shipping me a replacement because I gave you $45 and all I have is a bent piece of tin. :!: :!: :!: :!: I can't even bend it back because it has such a bad crease in it.

starionheaven Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Email sent! Stupid USPS, Ima have to put some straight edges with the packaging so this wont happen in the future. Hey StarV8quest, I havent received any payment, so lemme know if you sent anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 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 You could use some Velcro strips under it for easy removal and not have to worry about it moving around. Velcro??? Velcro is for baby shoes and Trapper Keepers not a car. I would recommend nuts and bolts at the very least maybe a few sheet metal screws. How often do you fill your radiator reservoir?

starionheaven Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I check my res tank at least once a week, but thats because I do a lot of driving and its warm here in Cali. I hardly have to fill it, but Im just one of those take car of your car kinda guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
