Member Made Underhood Fender Brace Covers

ssmike · 10-12-2018, 08:02 AM

Gauging interest in doing these for anyone who is interested. I made a pair of underhood bumper/fender brace covers using textured 1/8' ABS plastic. I think they came out great and really clean up the look on either side of the front bumper plate. These would be a cheap alternative for those looking for just the plates and not the 3 piece kit as others are selling. I think these look especially good with the aftermarket Cold Air Inductions cai! I used heavy duty Velcro to affix them to the brace. Let me know if you would be interested and if I get enough response I can make up a bunch of these! I'm thinking I could do them for around $20 a pair.

I'm in if you start selling them.

Textured abs plastic just looks so cheap. And this is supposed to be a cosmetic improvement??

The mod bug is so strong in some people that they mod just for the sake of modding.

At least put a VTec sticker on there so it makes more HP or something.

It covers the cross brace and area in front of it.

Yes it is. Not for everyone but someone who’s looking to dress up the engine bay for car shows etc might see the need.

Yes it is but I don’t think it’s done just for the sake of modding, at least for some. My purpose for this mod is to neaten up the front part of the engine bay and I think it really goes well with my CAI.

I agree, nice job..

Grumpy1 · 10-13-2018, 11:06 AM

Nice job...
They look good but my opinion the $20 price is a little steep.
Good luck with them, not a bad idea.
