I am thinking of doing the same thing. But it should be able to handle like 1200 degrees. Im not too sure how much my car heats up when boosting. So I need something a little more high temp.

Looks awesome, I love your car as always, one of my favorite sedans on the site. Keep up the clean work

Peace

looks tight! ill be sure to snap a pic of it on the 30th (just bought my tix last night wOOO!) i like the way it ties the engine bay into the rest of your car and offsets the black that is normally everywhere in theire, too bad my car is black and i cant really do much, if my car was still that sandy tan color i think that would look sick if i did the engine bay stuff in that color. anywasy props.
oh and where have u seen the CF cover

where i work we ahve a lot of these.http://www.trinco.com/leftframe1.htm. diffrent sizes.. one is so big i can probably do a cars hood. but we dont deal with cars where i work. I work in an aerospace company fixing the hot section of the arplains engine... well anyway i took my parts to work the other night and blasted then on the machine. it strips everything out saving u time compared to sanding and scuffing. i used the 200 grit machine it left it nice and smooth. and its good to do this i did it to my door pannels when i painted my interor and the paint is sticking for its life. i repanted the engine cover after i blasted it and the paint stuck good with no fisheye...after everything dryed up i used my cars touch up paint to do the lettering..u gotta have a steady hand for that.
