Default Well my engine bay!!!!

I wanted to show a thread specifcally to this because I felt like it deserves it ha. If mods want it moved thats ok I understand.

I am absolutely in love with this engine bay now. I got the CT200h Lexus symbol and put it over the top instead of the smaller lexus engine bay symbol. Plus the blue goes with the car so well.


Here is my build thread

Now for the pictures

Yea that's my next upgrade. I have the stock plastics still. My plan is to use the old plastic as my template so I can cut the carbon ones perfect

Are they 100% real carbon fiber or are they plastic with a CF overlay?

Either way it looks good.

Oh that's a nice engine bay. Like how it's a minimalistic approach compared to mine.


And no it's hundred percent pure carbon

Just my fuse box for my stereo system. I wish they'd be the same color wires but it just kinda happened that way

I know this is my own thread but ugh I love this engine bay! Such a nice compliment to the things I have already done in carbon. More to come when I get the cash flow coming in
