I was out at sears point today and was looking over Andy's (Sir Andy) car. It has an engine lid that is all screen. He said the guy who built it wasnt around any more so I was wondering if anyone knows someone who makes them.

Thanks,
Larry

I've done a few. Have them on several cars. The one on /L. car was about $570 with new Porsche letters and powder coating. I only did them because I did not like the finish on the ones being sold at that time.I did them for
Slits
Thomas
Linda
and myself, mine says VOLKSWAGEN on it.
It seems like I've done about 6 of them.
I know, I know. TTIUWP
Anyone got a picture of Linda's GT engine lid?
I should do one for the WCR slient auction.

Do some searching around here. There are lots of threads about members building GT style engine lids.

Hey thanks for the responses. I actually did not know that was a GT engine grill. I just thought it was sweet looking when I saw it on andy's car. Also since my car was missing the engine lid when I bought it I saw this as a perfectly great way to get an engine lid and not have to worry about matching paint.

I sent Sergio a PM since he is actually quite close to where I live.
