Default (FS:) carbon fiber engine covers

i have a complete set of carbon fiber overlayed engine cover pieces

they are heated treated with a special clearcoat and will outlast your car

i have the airbox cover , ecu box, fusebox , and 2 other covers so it balances out the eng bay

the air box alone cost me well over 200 to get done so all 5 pieces professionally done for 350 plus i need all your oem pieces to exchange which is a bargain considering they cost me well over 500 to buy and get done

i need these gone so i will do 325 shipped for them ..

many here in south florida have seen these covers in person , many judges from nopi have commented on how clean and neat they look

they really setoff the eng bay but for what i have planned they dont and will not work for me

i am open to reasonable offers .. they are hard to source and are very very expensive to get done

if you need close ups i can provide

trust me they are in bad shape... the airbox cover has a piece missing from the corner and is gouged to hell on the top. they (dealership from long ago) spilled something acidic on the ecu box... you get the idea

its a very this layer of carbon fiber that is flex and is perfectly overlaid over the covers then shrunk to fit every crevice and curve then a special high temp clearcoat is applied over them ..

i have had them for over 3 yrs i beleive and the pics of closeups was taken yesterday so you can see they are well made

listen folks 275 shipped if bought within the next 24hrs

they cost me well over 500

With the amount of money that he spent on those, I'm guessing that those are at least real carbon fiber overlays onto the stock plastic covers (not the vinyl carbon fiber look a-likes). Looks great, if only there was a carbon fiber engine hood to go w/ this for a gs430.

suggestion

what you could do is have your eng cover paited in a glossy black with your car color down the middle and use these covers as accent pieces being that they balance out the eng bay nicely

my eng cover was not done and the judges for shows i put it in loved them . or you could always down the road have your cover done to match

i am willing at this point to let them go cheap like 250 shipped if you want thats less then half of what i paid to get done
