Looks great but I am not the one who likes to dress up the engine for SO MUCH MONEY. I might be cheap but I know what I like.

i saw a cf engine cover for the sentra in Nopi Street Performance Compact. page 66-67

it was crazy cool ! with the silver nissan hamburger on top, also had 2.5 on it with some writing

that cf cover was the best one i have seen.

this one is better than the 4th gens, our spark plug cover is small and naked. while the cf looks good, keeping the engine info and nissan name and stuff would really taking it over the top.

still these are real nice and the 5th gen looks better than the small 4th gen spark plug cover. keeping name an engine stuff and adding nissan badge would make this a crazy seller ! $$$$

Looks cool but aren't people taking off their stock covers? I took mine off, that thing is nothing but a heat absorber.

This is obviously a cosmetic mod and it looks hot if I say so myself

As with the eyelids this engine cover is paintable if you choose to do so.

We wanted to create a clean looking piece since some people would want the hamburger on it, and others wouldn't, so you can add your own emblems to it if you wish.

We just wanted everyone to know that LCT has been hard at work again and to show you this new product asap. Keep in mind that we're not asking for deposits or seed money because what you're looking at is the real deal.

We'll announce the actual pricing and availability soon.

Pricing for a pair of fairly simple eyelids was $90, and that was a group deal. Expect to pay $200+ for this, easy.

Most people seem to understand, but just in case anyone out there thinks we're trying to cheat the maxima community, think again:
-Our company was started by 2 .org members and we work hard with a team of people to see these projects through to completion.
-We get these projects done on our own time and with our own money. Everyone gets the benefit of new innovative products without having to assume any risk during the production process.
-CF products are expensive to manufacture, especially when they have a complex 3D shape & are produced in small quantities.


So a thanks to those that appreciate our efforts, and another thanks to those that support us with orders.

Now, back on topic: Anyone else potentially interested in an engine cover like this?

My decision to purchase it will be based on what the pricing is, but I do like it.

I am hard bent to post in this thread because we are both trying to sell a similar product and I had made a post about a week before you..

I am wondering why you didn't contact me before posting up a product in direct competition to something already under way by someone else. You and I both know how small the carbon fiber aftermarket is, especially in the maxima community.

I am interested to see your pricing, because I have laid mine out on the table and have some people already on board for it. I haven't seen any of your products in person and I don't know of anyone that has, but it's easy to fudge carbon fiber in pictures and to make things seem better than they are. I guess the point of this post is just to get more information from someone coming in on my tail trying to ****** up business.

I see your point Jason. As a consumer, I would like to see the pricing that Triplesol comes up with. I havent seen any of his products in person, nor have I seen yours. I do know a lot of Org guys that I speak to regularly that have gotten stuff from you, and they have told me you do good work...

Like I posted before, its something that I would like for sure, but I want to see how the pricing shapes up.....

competition is good to get best pricing, but since we are such a small community I'd hate to see both parties come out losers.

Is there someway both of you guys can join forces??

Competition: We never intended to compete with anyone on this project. I'm not sure how far along in the process you're at, but our project obviously was not started just in the last couple weeks. The picture shown above is of the ACTUAL product (NOT a prototype, mold, etc...).

Quality: Our parts are being manufactured Syndicate Kustomz which is already established with a few product offerings, although at this point most of them are for B14's and B15's.

You can see their website here: www.syndicatekustomz.com

Pricing

We're pleased to announce a KILLER introductory PRICE on these genuine Carbon Fiber engine covers: Just $180 shipped.

We already have a few of these covers IN STOCK. There are very few available right now, and this introductory price only applies to what is on hand right now. We're practically giving them away just to get them in the hands of some Max owners asap.

I still have to confirm exactly how many they have on hand, so we don't want any actual payments yet. Let us know if you want to be one of the 1st and only to get one of these at the incredibly low introductory price.
