Default carbon fiber engine dress up

Hey I've been looking around and have been unable to find a GOOD picture of someone who has totally decked their engine bay out in carbon fiber. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

Wow Dude... I am going for a VERY similar setup. Arc catch can going in next week, polishing all of the exposed metal and keeping the CF engine cover. I am going to have all of the plastic chromed though.. Thought this might be different.

I like what you have done with yours man. Awesome

BamBam - how are you chroming plastic? Is it just an overlay? I am going to have all my plastic painted body color or airbrushed, I just have not decided which yet.

I was originally going to have it all fabricated for me as replacements but cost is WAY high. Instead AAM came up with a company that uses some type of bonding process (I guess sort of like powder-coating but with Metal).
So we have shipped them the battery and brake fluid covers. When that gets back this week we will review the quality and if it is good, we will take all the remaining plastic out and chrome it.

I can let you know the details and quality next week.
