Default All CF Engine Plastics for Batt/Fluid

So i did a little something different with these pieces for my own car...instead of just doing the covers themselves in cf i decided to fiberglass the pieces together and wrap as one piece...They should be pretty nice when done. They arent totally done which is why they look a little wavy but Ill have em finished by the end of this week, just in time for a show i got...
Opinions welcome of course!

SWEET! How much?! What about doin the center council for the z (the whole center area between the seats) or behind the seats, theres a TON of plastic back there that would look cool to have all CF. Have you ever thought about doin that?

That's awesome man! Do you have pics of all your work? You should make a thread full of past cf creations. I bet when people see all the pics in 1 thread you will get some business from it

Tony, does the stock upper plenum get too hot to have it wrapped in cf? It may be a dumb question cause it does get really hot, I just didn't know if its ever been done or if the CF will resist such heat

I've never done 1 but I think it will definitely get too hot for the cf to stay on...if it were just a piece of metal in the engine bay I would say maybe, but the plenum I wouldn't even bother doing. That's y I powdercoated mine. I do have a friend tho that I am about to do his intake tube for his audi so we'll see what happens wit that.
