So if I replace my backpad with a carpeted one, what do you guys do if you have an access panel? If I glue down the carpet, should I perhaps cut a flap or? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andys

I don't understand why no-one has made a cover from thick Perspex? It would be wonderful to see that fan spinning between you and passenger - put a light inside the engine bay and you have artistry between your seats?

Thats something I would like to see, I have seen some motorcycle guys do that do their engine cases and its very interesting for a show bike but wonder how it would work on a street car. I think you can add some LED lights in there and put on quite a show....very cool....hopefully someday somebody will try to do this.
