Arin,

We should see the first sculptured sample in 2-3 weeks time and the first CF sample in the next 10 days time or so... I will then check the quality (CF weaves and the design) and test fit it... and soon after that, we will have this product released (all the figures quoted are very conservative)!! It will be around mid august or earlier I would say if everything goes smoothly...

Pricing wise, it should be set at around USD 200~210 + shipping

cheers,

richie

Sound great, count me in on the "pre-order list":

1. hbenet (Preference: option 2 + Nissan-logo-cutout + Nismo metalic-emblems)

PS. I added my preferences, but I understand we'll all have to stick with the final offering you come-up with. Thx.

What are the chances of a full engine cover like HKS's

I am planning to make an upper plenum cover in CF too in the original shape... That will completely cover the entire engine (minus the tube) in CF!

I just bought an used upper plenum from a member... but it has not yet been decided whether or not we will have that piece made up (just to fit stock upper plenum)

cheers,

richie

Does HKS sell just the engine cover?

david,

HKS doesn't sell just the engine cover by itself... you have to buy the entire HKS supercharger kit to get that unfortunately... and making an entire cover will not work that will for people who have plenum spacers... so we have to account for that as well!

cheers,

richie

True, or pepole like me with replaced plenums... Though the full CF cover does look very nice.

Nismo Option 1 would be perfect for me
