I'd like to meet this Ed. Sound's like he makes nice things.

It was made by the same company that did my exhaust. MBRP.

I'm not sure if they are going to make others. I would expect if people want it...

I'll try to get some other shots hosted. I have tried to get better shots, but really need to bring it inside for that. Plus, my engine bay isn't the cleanest at the moment.

More pics on this link.

Sweet turbo cover.

FYI, Your hood release cable isn't stowed properly, slide the insulation back in the direction of the arrow and take the cable and clip it back into the bracket circled.

Funny...I had the same issue and caught it before it melted onto the heat shield.

Deepbluegxp, could I trouble you or anyone for that matter to post a pic of the correct mounting position so I can see before and after pics? I'm really not that mechanically inclined but seeing after shots would definitely help.

Thanks, LilRedGXP

If you look in this photo on the left, you will see the black cable in the bracket, I also have a blue wire passing through the same spot

Thanks for the quick response. Now I know what to look for and more importantly how to fix it. Much appreciated.

I would not call this a mod exactly. Thought about starting a thread when I saw the cable in this thread and commenting.

Here is how I found the cable on SLY

Here is how it should have been but notice the split, unacceptable

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...acefactory.jpg

This is the last of my NASA spec Space Shuttle heat shield tape used to repair tiles and heat shield while in orbit. I got a 55 gallon drum of it from a contractor who got it as out of date to the trash bin in 1994.
Technology transferred to 3M so the tape is available on the civilian market now.

This shows what I did

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...huttletape.jpg

I still don't like it so I am going to get some more tube shield from my dealer to go over the tape then I think I will put a piece of tape under the clip.
