You're right about the full size.....

But then again you're also right about the engine compartment.

It will do the job very well.

A lot of people just don't put anything on the firewall but I would pick yours anytime.

You get protection and you didn't have to paint it yourself.  If you take in consideration the material and time, I guess 350$ is pretty good.  I still think it looks awesome.

If you look at the picture in "full size" you will see they did not do a great job - but good enough for the engine compartment. It's a matter of finding a shop that can do a good job.

I wanted something that would provide corrosion protection and show any cracks - and easy to clean always helps. If the appearance is not perfect, I'm not going to lose sleep over it...

I had it done in three batches, so it ended up costing more than if I had a single batch.

I think I paid CA$350, would probably have paid CA$200.

Do you mind if I ask how much it cost?

It looks like they did a great job.

Hello, Vincent

Yes, powder coated. I found a business near my house that does rims, and they had no issues doing these parts.
