Engine Cover Modding

Hey guys, I saw someone in here with some SWEET engine cover modded/air brushed action. I'd like to pickup a spare and maybe get it "Carbon Fibered". Anyone know how in the heck I would go about doing that??

cheesy pic for reference.

LOL yeah it was your setup that got me to thinkin' Chernmax. Mucho props. I dont' want to go as full blast on the engine compartment as you did but looking for that "something extra". I think carbon fiber would look sweet if done tastefully.

Man that would be sweet. Anyone got a line on where I could pick one up? I've searched a bit but can't find anything for a 6th Gen Max.

What would you think about molding in a louvered or ductucted panel in the front hood? Sure they could do the rear diffusser we were thinking about also. Alko thy make a molded piece that fits into the front of the 350z to draw air into the engine bay, wouldnt be ram air but atleast be custom and help cool things down alittle.

That's a hot look, save up then buy it verse trying to mod an OEM one into CF with no guarantees...

I just sent them an email about some custom stuff like maybe side louvers for the fenders,brake ducting,maybe adding something with vents for the hood. Obviously not for induction but just cool the engine down.They sent a reply asking where Im from so we"ll see where it goes.
