I'm going to start a new thread to track the ordering process for the covers.
Hardware: I've been able to find a source for all the hardware and I have a couple installation procedures that I think are simple, straightforward, and allow you to switch between the regular or clear engine cover without much work. I'll have a couple people test them to find the best one. I'm also working on find a way to offer the bolts and caps in chrome or any specific color that can match your car exterior, no guarantees though
.
Seals: I just ordered a bunch of different type of rubber seals intended for high-heat use and I'll be testing which one gives the tightest seal and best noise reduction.
Cover: As mentioned earlier, I'm still working on finding the best material to use and still keep costs down. I don't think I'll be going any thicker than quarter inch plastic because forming becomes increasingly difficult. I'm most likely going to offer both lexan and plexiglass covers; lexan will have to be a bit more because it needs to be cut and formed differently. Depending on how much demand there is I may be able to offer cover that are tinted in a particular color. This is only a plexiglass option. The tinting will be built into the plexiglass because I think any film applied might peel off under high temperature conditions. Examples
Shipping: I haven't worked out anything with shipping yet.
