Engine bay ideas....?

[Zeon]

Ok so im in the middle of my project and i came to halt. im tryin to make my engine bay show worthy just for the complements and being an attention whore... i CF reinforced the sides and smoothed it all out so its curvy at the hood lip and where the decks meet. i was going to bleech the bottom or somthing to whiten it up or i was going to just CF the bottom of the engine bay..

Does any one have any pics of show boats engine bays or any ideas of what people do to the bottoms of the engine bays.. as well as the firewall? please get back asap so i dont just go out there and do somthing ....


IDEAS!?

Some lay carbon on the bottom.

Taylor Curtis puts a sheet of un glued hydroturf on the bottom.

Or you could just paint it all black.

Rubberized undercoating

Plasti dip also comes in a spray can now,it dries fairly glossy if you spray enough on and it comes in different colors.

That stuff looks pretty cool. Is is better than just regular automotive undercoating?

that hydroturf idea is actually pretty sweet idea.... i wonder how long it would last thought gas and whatever else.....

see im kind of to where i DONT want to paint the bottom just for the fact of i know how ********ty chipping will look after i ride it a week. summer time i run about 10 tanks a week. i ride alot...

but i dont want the extra weight.. but i am a ricer at heart.

Wrap the skis grafix down into the engine compartment. Or just leave the hood on and learn a new trick that no one else can do then you won't have time to take your hood off with everybody asking you to do that again...

the turf, I would imagine, would last a while. if it gets messed up, just cut another piece, and replace it.

line-x or rhino liner

 

[Frosty]

keep it stock... use softscrub with bleach and a good scowering pad... nice and white again

Spatter paint?

 

[Mark44]

Paint it white for a nice clean look and spend the carbon money on the motor.

black paint on the bottom helps hide the edge of the CF

I'd lay the carbon on the bottom. Don't line it with anything that will add more weights than a layer of carbon. Plus it would add a 'bit' of strength, especially if you have some thin spots from beaching.

What type of Airbox/Flame arrester are you running? If its OEM, PM me, I may have a blinging solution for you :wink:

I say you just throw your motor back in so you can start helping me again or you just paint it black for the reason below.
