Default Carbon Fiber for JWT Popcharger and other mods

Hey guys, after getting tired of looking for pop charger covers to use with the supplied heat-shield, I decided to create my own. I designed it in a way to allow easy access to the filter by drilling one corner of the fiber to the heat-shield and using pressure from the corners of the connection the engine bay. It took time to create a viable stencil that would allow me to pop it in and out, but it was all worth it for me. I did notice at my time at a drag strip that the popcharger’s temperature was noticeably cooler that the surrounding engine bay. After making the cover I went on to make the cooling shroud, emblem inserts, and random interior parts.
What do you think?
