My new hand laid carbon fiber engine cover - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisSedan · 04-13-2009, 05:46 PM

Dang lol I didnt read my reponses till the next day. I didnt actually make this. I purchased it on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-06...Q5fAccessories

The posting title on ebay was hand laid carbon fiber. So i guess thats why many assumed i hand layed it myself.

But the quality is there. The bolt holes dont fit 100 percent. I had to slot them slightly with a small file. But ill try to post some pics up when i get home of it installed. It looks increadibly good. I threw some wax on it so its even more glossy.

IMO a YW or MI sticker on the front bulge would look really good

Anyone want to organize a group buy?

Counts as weight reduction too. I saved .0001 a pound.

I am so down for a group buy

P.S. what kind of air intake is that
