Carbon Fiber M104 Engine Wiring Harness Cover

As promised I finished up the preliminary laminating job on the engine wiring harness cover. It's far from perfect but it was a nice project to get me warmed up for some things to come . It looks pretty badass in person....once you pop the hood its the very first thing that catches your eye in the sun, very very striking. Now that it's in the bay I want to see how well it stands up to the heat and whatnot. Also realized how much more carbon fiber I need in there! Going to see if I can do something with the plastic coilpack cover that my custom aluminum AMG emblem is sitting on (which btw is holding up REALLY well). The large plastic cover that protects the ECU in the corner of the passenger side looks like another great place to get some CF. Anyhow let me know what you guys think!

Ben,
Looks awesome man!
Haven't been on the forums much lately, been busy as **** with work, school, etc.

I would totally be interested in this, plus any other CF covers you come up with, and of course our little project we were discussing

I'm gonna be out of the country with work starting the 10th and won't be back til the end of August. No internet or phone where I'm going, so feel free to PM me details about CF goodies etc while I'm gone and I'll get back to you asap.

Keep up the good work brother, always nice to see you pushing the community further
-Paul

Thanks Paul, good to know there is some interest in this. You'll definitely get one, will be claying up the rest of the flanging today in order to make a mold so I can knock out CF overlays with the vacuum bagging setup. Have a safe trip bro!

More to come......

Looking good.

If you can wrap the 3.6 air intake crossover tube, you'll sell a zillion of them. With a spare one, you can get a core charge, so the buying public won't be down while their original is being done.
