Kevin, what did you use to mask it off on the rough surface?

Re: Show us your Engine bay

Thanks to Brian, I was able install the chrome type emblem to my engine cover. It came off his SRT6. It was too dark in the garage when I finished, but here is a black and white of it for now. Tomorrow with some daylight, I will get some better pics.

Re: Show us your Engine bay

All these pictures make me wish I could keep my engine cover. I am in on the group buy for a Needswings Intake and all things considered, it's worth losing the engine cover for the intake, but I sure wish I could have both.

Re: Show us your Engine bay

Tell me more. How much did you have to cut the cover to fit? Where did you get that MB cover? Could the factory cover be cut in a similar fashion?

Factory cover can not be cut
This is a possibility though

No cuts at all, he just put it on.

Re: Show us your Engine bay

Sorry I have not looked at a MB cover in person yet. Can you tell me what this cut-out is for? Is it needed?

I used blue painter's masking tape. More importantly, I used a very small amount of paint on the brush to prevent it from seeping underneath the tape. Hope this helps.

It's not a custom cut, on the car it belongs to there is a fluid lid/cap there. I won 2nd place at a car show sat. with this set up, I installed a fake chrome oil cap there (not currently on this picture) so no problems. Here is a better view of it.
