Roger,

Just spoke to my prototype design manager... We will improve our prototype and try to copy nismo engine cover entirely, the centre piece will extend slightly further and the line at both sides of the centre piece will end at the front edge of the centre piece too... currently, that centre piece is in plastic, the production piece will be a thin CF layer

We will also look into those other CF parts too

cheers,

richie

cheers,

richie

the parts will be sold through both of us and we are both EVO-R

We will make the resin heat resistance for sure and will test the final product under extreme heat condition and on our cars before we release it.

cheers,

richie

OK..... another update...

We have changed the previous one a bit... and of course it is not finished yet... still working on it... we will have an even better design tomorrow night!!! We are going to make the middle part slight larger at the far end towards the plenum (exactly the same as the nismo piece) and make the whole engine cover surface better and slightly rounder at both end... then we are done... Here are some updated teasing pictures for you guys...







cheers,

richie
