Carbon Fiber Engine Cover...The real deal!

This is a Carbon Fiber engine cover. It is not like anything I have seen out there for sale, this is not fiberglass dyed in black nor is it a single layer of carbon fiber with fiber glass backing. This is flawless in every way, no fiber mess ups in the lay up, nothing but perfect, F1 quality/style Carbon fiber. It has a very shinny top and the bottom looks just like an F1 component would. It is extremely lightweight and thin but at the same time its extremely hard to bend or twist. It fits perfectly. I've had it for my car and I used it for pictures and shows but not daily so its in pristine condition. It comes with an original aluminum Mazda emblem that is already in place.

I am asking $180.00 OBO for it. I believe it was something like 400.00 new.

Thanks for looking.

Chris

I have seen the engine cover in person. It weighs next to nothing, but is strong, fit and finish is perfect.

Some people have been able to modify the stock engine cover to fit the Mazdaspeed strut brace. This would look nice with the cf strut brace coming out from underneath of it.

Carbon fiber is nice, but to be honest the current cover doesn't weigh much in the first place seeing it's plastic so.... while this would top off a car if I was CF all around, I would rather get CF on a body kit to make up for more weight than a cover... good piece though

uhh...the stock unit is really heavy....This CF one probably weight 10% of what the stock one does.

Regardless, item is sold and there is a happy customer
