OK.... I think we really have enough interest...

We have come out with a solution... We will offer this piece in 2 pieces design... silver CF will be another piece which is glued on tightly for those people who are interested in black and silver... and if you don't want a silver CF piece, you can leave it out... You can see that Nismo CF engine cover might also be constructed in 2 pieces... the silver CF pattern/weaves are skinnier than the black CF weaves if you look closer...

And we will definitely make sure that the CF weave is gonna be tight, so will pay attentions to where the OEM screw caps go since if the holes are too deep, it might/will destroy the nice CF weaves...

Price wise... it will be slightly more expensive than the current one for sure and it should be roughly around 210 to 220 USD mark + shipping.... it might be cheaper, that's just a guesstimate for now, I will discuss with evo-r when we have a prototype out (need quite a lot of works)... which will be very soon!

cheers,

richie

you can always put the badge on yourself even without the badge cut out... I reckon the badge will go very well with the silver cf weaves...

And here is another question... with or without the nissan badge cutout?!

cheers,

I suggest you keep it as close to the 'real thing' as possible. Therefore my vote goes to have the badge cutout.

Once again thanks for doing this!

Definetely with the Nissan badge cutout! I want one to look just like the real thing, makes it look alot more "factory" built with the cutout and Nissan badge!

That + the Nismo badge would be the daddy!

We will make it as close to the original nismo engine cover as possible... (or exactly the same, just without those badges)..

We are starting it now and should be able to see the first CF sample/prototype in 3 weeks time!

cheers,

richie

Default Option 2

I vote for (2) only if the silver area is carbon fiber. I am ready to order

I'm in for option 2, with some sort of badges, I would like the silver plate badges, with say, Evo-R on it instead of nismo? You have to have the badges! Subscribed.

I have a perfect badge in mind.... You can get this on the ebay very cheap and we do offer them too (Jay told me once before)

Here is the photo... I reckon it will look very nice with this badge on the cover
