LEXAN engine cover pics up. finaly.....
 

Just finished a lexan engien cover. "pics up soon" looks pritty kool, and cost me 28 cents to make. I'm looking for some other mods that are under 50$, to make or do. any ideas?

How about a nice boost gauge? Like this one....

*Yes - I was first to reply with the response everyone else was going to type !*

Heh! Heh! I was going to but I thought I would show my "Moral Fiber" :D

well . . . . ok you beat me to it damit

But how about a cool rear speaker box?

uhaa, thats funny all be on my way to crappy tire to go get one. lmao any one know much about working with plastic. I'm geting the car repainted and all the dents taken out and I want to get the front grills on my 97 stretched like the new ones.

Hey, I was looking for ideas and I came up with puting the new side vents on my 97. I am geting a new paint job and bumpers so I figure this is the best time to try. Does any one know the dimentions of the new vents, will it be able to cover the old vent hole? any help would be great.

ps: when driving a very loud vibrating noise come from the engine when I let of lightly at 2100-2600 rmp, it goes away if I maintane speed or totaly let off the gas. any ideas. sorry for spelling and grammer any help "on the car" is awsome

Man that's a great job, kind of like the Ferarri and high-end cars. Do you now feel pressure to keep your engine detailed :D

I was amazed how cheap and easy it was to do and i am just worried about cleaning the lexan not to scratch it

No melting problems? Looks cool and look, you save $700:

Hi, I'm really interested in doing this mod too, please explain how it was done .

thanks.

how louder is it in the cabin now?

LEDs
 

A few LEDs in the engine compartment, wired to the speaker system would complete that MOD.

its like to loud in side. most would not want it. I just used lexan cut to a close shape I had draw out then heated it with a blow torch. Many people I know who have tryed heating and bending lexan have broken it many times trying. Just go slow let it air cool and go bit by bit, we used a simple weighted rig to let it cool on and keep the shape. Then got it cut to fit after it was done. kool for the price. you can probly get it if you dont know any one who has some for 50$ for that size and cut to shape. we used foam to seal it because it would look bad with all the curves to fit exact and the reflection on it would look bad to also to much bending. if you need more help just pm me

i'm very impressed, i thought that i was the only one that wanted to expose my engine like this. i cant beleive you did it. very cool.

omg you guys made my day...i just took a look at the adrenaline web page. i can't beleive it, i always wanted to do this. not sure that i can create the same as boxster7, so i might be contacting this company for futher information.....

very cool!!!!!

The one on the web site is kool. it would be alot easyer to make all you would do is have a local shop cut it to shape and they will drill the holes to all for almost nothing. to buy the lexan with that shape cut with holes would be around 30$ US for you guys. Then you cut the stock cover take off the heat sheald then put some nice rivits in and it would look just as nice for 30$ not 700$. I just didnt want to wreck any stock parts for when I sell it.

I have found my next mod if any one on this forum can help me out if they have done this. I am doing two strate pipes through the bumper like this

I cant start for 7 weeks tell my car is fixed but then it should take about 2 weeks to make all have pics up soon as its done. also i am curently cuting out the grills on the front bumper to look more like the 360 modena pics up soon

I guess no one else has done this mod ? so heres what it looks like right now.its just the broken bumper. if it ends up looking good all buy a used one and do the same
