Pics of Carbon Fiber / Pewter Painted Engine Bay
Hello Folks, I am thinking about doing all the covers in my engine bay in either Carbon Fiber, or, painted to match the pewter metallic exterior. I am also going to do polished stainless caps for all fluids, and braided stainless hoses and wires.
If anyone has either treatment, and photos, please post them here!
I know the CF is a little more expensive, but that is okay as far as my budget goes.
Thank You!

Mt pewter vette has so much carbon that I painted some, so that the
carbon would not get overwhelming.

Some very beautiful engine bays above! I'm thinking about switching up and going with pewter fender covers and carbon fiber tanks. I have a new carbon fiber/stainless brake fluid cover and batter/fuse box cover on the way. Here is where I am currently.

That carbon fiber intake cover brings back memories.
I designed and made the prototype mold for it back in 2006. From there it was sold by a single vendor and at this point it's distributed by several vendors both in fiberglass or carbon & kevlar.
Also made the molds for the master cylinder cover and some other pieces like the cap covers.
