CF spark plug cover
 
just wanted to see what you guys thought of my new cf spark plug cover.

at first I was going to buy the original mugen power cf cover, when it was $300 but since there price for it jumped to $429, its a bit overpriced for what it is(considering it has no function). so i made my own since i really like the look.
lmk
Thanks
Edib

Dang you made that carbon fiber one? It looks good!

Would you mind explaining a little bit of the process you used to make it?

THE Z MAN 08-16-2010 03:30 PM

well i didnt actually make the carbon fiber, since i would need a mold(casing) in order to make it.
the way it works once you make/have a mold in a simplified version, is you coat the mold with resin/hardner then place carbon fiber cloth, then lightly coat it with resin then two more coats of resin.

How can you tell ???

THE Z MAN 08-16-2010 05:02 PM

the center part where it says mugen is raised, mugen power is the only one that has that. thats one of the reasons I like it so much, sucks that mugen increased their prices, for $429 you can buy a bumper, spoiler or as pair of side diffusers.
$300 was expensive but bearable, now its not worth it.

I had a real one wish i never sold it... sometimes I think it is my favorite part i ever bought for the car it was like a piece of art...

my opinion, lose the mugen sticker its obviously a fake and the sticker makes it lok even cheesier

THE Z MAN 08-16-2010 05:08 PM

Thanks for your opinion. it does look weird when taking pics of it, since the decal is like a metallic white, w/o the flash it looks nicer.


your right about the original looking like a piece of art.

Emil St-Hilaire 08-16-2010 05:42 PM

From the pics,I can't tell the difference...
:thumbup: :thumbup: for yours...
