Default clean engine bay

Hey, I found this picture from Doc I's website. The person has doc's radiator plate and also has several other engine plates around the engine bay covering up the gaps around the battery and other things. I think it looks really clean and I'm wondering where I could get those covers? If anyone could let me know, I'd appreciate it. Thanks everyone!

Why not contact Doc I? I am sure he would be more than happy to help you out.

That's Dakine's car. He made the side pieces himself, and I've been working on more "universal" pieces (fit with multiple battery and intake configurations) for a while now. Doing a set of one-offs (Like Dakine's) would be easy enough... but templating them to produce is an altogether different matter.

^^^ I posted this in another thread...
My plate - about a year old, has cracked in ~3 places.
It seems that the plastic can't take the heat for too long.
Do you still use the same material, or is there something better in that regard?
I finally went with aluminum because I figure that a new plate every year would cost more in the end...

Old design plate or new design? I've never had any reports of heat issues with the new design. The older design had some problems (mine actually never did) which is what prompted the change. If you had a newer design plate and it cracked, all you had to do was mail it back to me and I would have sent you a free replacement.

It's the older design.
Is it made of something different or is it just the stress on the old design?
Out of curiosity, why do you replace the new and not the old ones?
We paid the same mount...

Yeah thats my engine bay. I produced this for a while. but like Doc said, its hard to make em for people due to differences in intake and battery config.
