I have recently covered the bottom of the engine lid with DYNAMAT, including the underpart of the grill also. WOW the difference when i covered the grill part on SOUND!!! It is so quiet now.

I was wondering if anyone ever replaced all the grill part of the engine lid and the two grill parts on the body with SOLID metal and welded it in as a solid piece with no grill anymore.

How does this look?? i bet if you did this you could weld up nice channels so no water would ever make its way into the engine compartment again.

Just curious if anyone has done this cosmetic mod???
