As i have the INJEN intake system and therefore my oem air Intake box was of no use anymore and was kinda hanging loose i got rid of it.

But doing that created a rather large empty space in front of the engine and you can see all the wiring of the fans etc....

I therefore created a plate from Cabron Fiber just for estatics to cover up the hole. Made a mold first from cardboard and lett a friend of mine work it over with carbon fiber.
To be honest i'm quite critical and am not a 100% satisfied with the finish yet,but it 'll work for just now and as i'm planning to do more with carbon i'll might redo it at a later point but at least the gap is closed :laugh:

Sorry about the dark pics, have had some bad weather today and wanted to keep my baby clean so made them inside the shop:
 
The circuit sports radiator cap on the radiator is not the same exact one as on the reservoir tank is it?

It's the same dimension, and on the inside they look the same as well. That is the cover i mean.
In the radiotor cap they made the "Spring" and valve for the radiator extra. The only difference i see.
 
Cool, just making sure it was not the same exact one. Would not hold any pressure if it was. :smile:
 
wtf thats wierd i responded to this thread but it never showed up.... i mentioned how Torres form team emotion has one of these on his g35 but it is like vented, i guess to bring air in from the grill?. does yours actually hold a fuinction or are both yours and his just for show?
 
Are you talking about the coolant reservoir? It has to be vented for pressure to be released. Radiator caps hold pressure to raise cooling efficiency, the reservoir is for expansion and contraction of the cooling system. If the radiator cap on the radiator holds no pressure it will allow the system to expand and contract into the reservoir at a much more drastic rate. Too small of a reservoir and it will overflow when it expands, and in turn suck in air when it contracts.
