Take your time. We don't need it by Christmas. Rather have quality than rushed. Looks good though!

something really pissed me off today, right after Jay took some nice photos.... I am sure it will upset you guys too.... too much tensions/jobs in the factory results in this.... so I would rather not push/rush my guys.... because those press moulds are hard to make... and yes... that one is crashed.... you can see the front of the nismo style engine cover there.... Guys... sorry about it, so there will be a slight delay again....



cheers,

richie

Good thing i have my car stored for the winter and no rush for new mods for a few months.... Though it would have been good to have last weekend when i was in a photo shoot for a street car magazine, but now the car is stationary for atleast some 4 months ahead.

Cheers

That was pretty quick. Did you fix the mold that broke or did you start again with a brand new one?

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Roger and gents...

I have got the samples and finally found some free time myself to test fit it on my car... This sample does not have a clear coat on, just something for me to test fit it, so we will know what size spacers to make to go underneath the front 2 holes... the reason for not making those front 2 holes that deep is because we don't want to mess up the CF weave... Nismo engine cover is actually constructed by several pieces (Dry CF process with steel moulds), you will be able to see that from those CF weave patterns in the pics, that is also why the front 2 holes are quite deep without affecting the CF weave on the rest of the engine cover...

Here are some quick photos I took this afternoon... enjoy them!







cheers,

richie
