Saving Money!!! DIY Engin dress up - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I want to dress up my engine bay, but do not have the money for the aftermarket dress up kits. Really don't want to spend $600 to dress up the engine. So I started with cardboard and cut it out to fit the area's that I want to cover.

Here is the mock up..........

And some close ups......

The first piece out of the shop..........

And on the car, perfect fit.........

Now it needs to be tacked and off to paint.

I just did the designing/mock up work with the cardboard the actual metal work is being handled by my father. He is a machinist and has access to everything. If all goes well I may make extras.
