Got any pics? I didn't see a way to remove some of the snaps and/or bolts, so I used a dremel and eye-balled it by looking at the instruction pictures. Looks great in my book.

OP: When I had a Vararam I bought a panel to cover it; worked great and really improved the appearance. Unfortunately I can't find the receipt and don't remember who I bought it from. It had to have been a forum vendor - check their web sites.

Perhaps a piece of ABS plastic or Carbon Fiber? You can cut it exactly how you want it, shape it, finish it and even add logos from ebay if you would like.

Just a reminder.

Members are not prohibited from mentioning it when they have a good (or bad, for that matter) experience with a non-supporting vendor. But such mentions cannot be so specific (address, phone number, e-mail address, URL, price, part number, offer to send contact information via PMs, etc.) or so frequent that they become marketing and promotional references.

NakidParts had an inexpensive panel that was just a simple piece of cut plastic or Formica that you would flex and then wedge it into place.

Looked good, but after a few years, mine cracked.

I can understand coming to the forum for help but I found all the OP's info by simply using Google...


The install instructions are available at the Manufacturer's website. And the Intake Shroud Cover mentioned above was easily located.
