Carbon Fiber Element Engine Covers (Pics)
 
This has been a project Ive wanted to get done for along time, but just kept putting off. The Password JDM engine/radiator covers are expensive for what they are, plus the battery covers dont even open which is a feature I wanted to keep. So I contacted Tony@carbonfiberelement and he delievered a top notch product again, hope you enjoy.

Those battery and master cylinder covers look soooo much better than the PJDM covers, very nice!

Wow, those look great... I'm thinking Group Buy! :rofl2:

Thanks guys, the carbon is kinda hard to take pics of, I'll take more tomorrow.

But these covers are much better then the password:jdm covers due to the fact that you can open/close the covers. That was something I def wanted with i talked to him about these pieces. With the JDM covers, you have to remove the whole thing.

Are these just carbon fiber wrapped around OEM pieces?
Also, the Password JDM pieces have 3 quick clips (battery/fluid covers) which take 5 seconds to take off, not much of an issue and I know since I have taken mine off a lot.

That was something that made me hold off on them as well.

Just out of curiosity, were these solid CF pieces, or did you send them your stock pieces and they put CF over them?

Carbon Fiber Element does some really good work I must say, they they look really sweet!

NewYorkJon34 08-22-2011 09:05 PM

Stock pieces that are wrapped in real CF, but the stock pieces are sanded down & laid with the real CF so they are the closest thing you could get to a total cf piece. Plus since they are oem, you don't have to worry about fitment issues that are known with the PW:JDM radiator cover.

Ok, cool. Last question would be I have the hood dampeners installed, I'm worried if I tried to install them with these possibly cracking the resin coat around the front mount where the eye bolt for the damper sits. Unless I got some rubber washers for it... that would work I guess.

CFE, if you're reading this thread still... GROUP BUY! :rofl2:
