Default Another IS F

Hello! another ISF owner checking in. I've owned the car for awhile, and did mostly performance mods so far. Recently decided to start making my own carbon fiber parts, starting with the engine covers (a lil sample below). Hopefully I can start making it out to the meets and getting more in touch with the Lexus community. Aloha!

I tried to do a molding first, but failed horribly... and decided to purchase another set of covers so I could just overlay them. Since they are overlaid, just going to put these on if I ever enter a show one day. Oh and these are bushed on, maybe if i get better I will start looking more into vacuum forming.

heres a sample of my current carbon fiber set up. its not a perfect fit to all those engine covers and i am sad to say i did resort to zipties for some connections although not visible when the covers are one. some people probly gonna be hatin on this saying too much cf, and all i got to say is to each his own and happy holidays haha
