any plans on selling these, and how is the engine cover held on, like the oem or other? if you were to, i can rig up the diamond cut outs with plexiglass that lights up red or what ever color when the hood is open.

yes i would like to sell these but i want to make it perfect first and utilize the factory mounting points with the rubber isolators. so we have brackets to use the rubber isolator but getting the exact point we are etching where to weld the bracket to make it easy. we are doing this all on the free time we have which isnt much so its going to be a min before we can get this ready for a production item.

yes i wanted to do titanium originally but we dont have any here currently. i would have to get some but its super expensive so im going to use the aluminum first and its got to be perfect. i would cry messing up titanium at the price its at.

its not completed yet so we havent tested heat yet. aluminum dissipates heat very well like titanium. aluminum and titanium gets hot but cools very quickly. so if your wondering if it will cool down like our plastic cover probably not as fast but it will be ok to remove shortly after parking. hopefully that answers your question
