Gaging interest before I order. I want to make a magnetic "cover" out of sign material to cover my engine grill when I wash the car. This should keep a lot of water out of the engine bay, even just parked outside during a storm. I do have a sticker machine, so I will put the porsche name on it with "remove before flight". I have to buy a fair amount of the material to do even one, so if no one else is interested i probably won't do it. Thinking white material with red letters or red material with white letters. guessing somewhere around 20 bucks each.
PS i know a rain tray would solve it, but I don't like them. |

I've got a GT grill and just installed it. For my first wash I covered the grill with plasitc bags.
I would be interested in your cover. I think it would need to extend just beyond the edges of the engine lid and perhaps cover the side vents in an effort to keep 95% of the water out. Do you have a ball park price per cover? The bags were paid for and fairly effective. PM me if this moves forward. I'll likely loose track of this thread. -Rob |
