The problem with those is that they are application specific. They won't work for me and lots of other modified FD's. I'm seeing if I can just get one custom made for myself.

I just received the Carbing panel. It is a smaller 3 piece setup. At first I wanted the 1 piece larger panel but this smaller panel(s) looks cleaner. I think I will have them powdercoated black to fit the stock look. It was 90 bucks.

they also have the larger 1 piece panels made by DC Sports, the DME panel looks good for a larger panel. It is only 75 bucks. Go to www.excelerateperformance.com

hey red, thanks for the info. i am kinda siding with riz on this one though. i think i might just have one custom made after i install all of my goodies next month. i like the idea of carbon fiber, but i think i'm going to shoot for aluminium because i want to get it anodized.

thanks, mark

Carbon fiber would be the best. Maybe someone could use this, or another panel to make a cf panel. I'm not crazy about this one. The center piece could be a little bigger to cover a few more inches towards the motor. Took this today but have already painted it black. When I'm finished, if it looks OK, I'll take another pic.

You can see where I had to grind a little off near the intake. Kinda sucked.
I may try the $75 panel. It's bigger. I thought I'd like this one more. I may once I get it black.
