Gauging Interest - Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Spark Plug Cover and Intake Manifold Cover
**UPDATED PRICE**
It was brought to my attention that its found cheaper at other places. I not trying to cheat anybody so I lowered the price for these. Keep in mind that its a lot of work to make these look good and the material isnt cheap, but I want to contribute to the site so I took off 50 bucks.

Ok so I have been working on a new project and doing some test with fiberglass on making a Mugen style spark plug cover for significantly less than what Mugen sells it for. I have already made a prototype out of fiberglass and it came out great I now plan to make one out of carbon fiber. Havent made the intake manifold cover but I dont see it being any harder than the spark plug cover.

Spark plug Cover:
Now I could make the whole thing out of carbon fiber and it would be around $100 bucks shipped.

Or I can just do a carbon fiber overlay over the stock spark plug cover and it would be around $75 bucks shipped.

Intake Manifold Cover:
All carbon fiber $150

Overlay: $100

Now Im trying to see how many people would be interested in this.

Currently I have Carbon Fiber/blue kevlar blend and black kevlar/red kevlar blend. This is 100% Carbon Fiber no sticker or cheap stuff. And 100% Kevlar. I have 5 years experiance working with composites so Im not just slapping this thing together.

Heres a pic of the red kevlar/black kevlar blend from my suppliers website.

yeah, my engine bay will be blue and cf, so some blue/black
cf or carbon kevlar would probably be pretty sweet.

I'd prefer the Bay door on the center console with the Navi spacing! But this could be cool too.

FYI, Spoon carbon kevlar spark plug cover is about $150 shipped.
and there are other brands like Vision and Signal Auto makes CF cover for about $70-120 + shipping.

But i am interested in the IM cover full carbon, or kevlar carbon, and keep the DOHC i-VTEC words

If the quality is there, then perhaps. I think we all remember the PasswordJDM one that someone posted up. Blue/black would be sexy
