    Consulier GTP TARGA engine COVER

    Am having an engine cover made right now.
    It will fit only the Targa and roadster.
    It will have no louvers.
    It will be solid in the area where the louvers were in the original cover.

    IF anyone wants one, let me know. (I have one contacted me so far)
    Will get price soon.

    This is so you have a spare OR make something different.
    Here is a photo of it so far....

    Re: Consulier GTP TARGA engine COVER

    Here are some ideas I was looking at. You can cut and add anything you desire. I just might add a air inlet for the engine also.

    Re: Consulier GTP TARGA engine COVER

    I'm liking the directional louvers and that top left pic, but what direction should they point? Any idea if they need to funnel air in or remove excess air from the engine bay? ...and I'm guessing the requirement could be different from targa to coupe.

    Re: Consulier GTP TARGA engine COVER

    The louvers are there to let air out. And to not have pressure build up under the cover....which is needed for all the cars.

    Re: Consulier GTP TARGA engine COVER

    Picked it up today. Here it is side by side to the original. And what the back side looks like.
    A little heavier than the factory one (by feel).

    - - - Updated - - -

    A couple people said they might want one. Let me know as soon as you can.
    I need to pick up the mold and store it here if no one wants one. OR tell him to make another.
