I'm looking into having the plastic engine cover custom-made exact shape without the plastic lines and made out of metal so we can paint it Chrome it powder coat it Etc. So I'm just getting a head count who would be interested and purchasing a metal custom engine cover for their SHO.
Looking into a place that will take the plastic engine cover and put on an AutoCAD break it down and do six sections to be cut out bent and welded into shape I have a place that will do that I'm looking into finding a company that can put on AutoCAD format.

If you think you be interested chimed in

Good day, I really don't know how that will look like. I love mine (2012) just the way it is.

Being the resident Debby Downer, I thought about this for awhile before I posted so here is my thoughts. I think it would look great especially if you did something that could be polished, but I also think it would cost a great deal of money, not actually improve anything but looks and the big down side for me, it would retain a great deal of heat on the top of the motor with nothing to cool it off. Anyway that was what I thought, BUT it would look great.

How did you get a vented hood???
There is a story behind it however, the short version is, is that I simply pestered my local body shop to custom fabricate it for me.

They weren't necessarily happy about it afterwards, but they did admit that it turned out nicer than they expected.
