What the title says

M-tavo · 03-10-2016, 07:05 AM

I don't know about all that white, but it sure does look pretty darn good! maybe installed, all that white will blend in

wjjkoevoets · 03-10-2016, 02:15 PM

That actually looks pretty awesome! Do you have any pictures of that installed?

NEUE02 · 03-10-2016, 02:38 PM

Wow!

VMRWheels · 03-10-2016, 03:03 PM

No pics with it installed? I like the white!

I have a couple of other parts getting done. I'll post it when it is.

omega145 · 03-10-2016, 05:08 PM

That cover is sharp. Is the carbon part dipped and how is it that done? Not sure about the white either but that top part is mint. Maybe if its installed with other white pieces under the engine compartment it'll match well.

Great job.

Is your car white? It's been awhile since I popped the hood in my car but I imagine there are some parts of the body poking through which this might blend in well with.

Looks great! Not to highjack the thread, but has anyone seen an actual carbon fiber replacement engine cover? I think it would be great add on for someone with Dinan or AWE croon intakes....

pikcachu · 03-10-2016, 07:34 PM

Nice... wonder how much it took

tenfour · 03-10-2016, 09:23 PM

Looks awesome!

JQuach07 · 03-11-2016, 12:15 AM

I had to put stock intake on but my BMS is getting dipped and my upper strut is going to be white.

I am really liking that look!

Can I be so bold as to ask you how much money it costs to get it dipped and painted like that?

Cost me 275. It was like 200-220 for carbon dip and rest was pin strip. I talked to him and he said if I could get enough people he can do a group discount. Downfall is you have to ship to his shop in Oregon.

Orenji · 03-11-2016, 08:22 AM

Wow. That looks awesome!

Very interested in gb.

Hmm... seriously considering this! It looks really damn neat.

usafmike · 03-12-2016, 10:33 AM

Looks damn good. Wonder how Estoril blue would look?
