Thanks for the info.

So any talk about building more? I'd gladly buy one.

PM's are a good idea but this section is a no solicitation section. Please keep this in mind.:smile:

Hello peoples; Nice job and nice pics. IMO I would weld it up and get rid of the rivets. That took talent to bend it up and it will also take talent to weld it up.

i actually think the rivets give it some character

Hello Peoples; The rivets look bad a$$!! TOO MANY HATERS

As nice as the shield is, it pales in comparison to his boost activated intercooler scoop. Now THAT is some nice work.

Thanks Guys.

I went with rivets because they give it that aircraft feel and they're cheap. Honestly, the whole thing is made with about fifty cents worth of materials. It's just costs time. If I get the time, I'll make a blueprint of how to make one. As of right now I've got about 8 people asking me to make these things. "If" I decide to do a run of them, I'd sell them through one of our venders, and I'd post it here.

Look for a few new projects in the future.

Happy spooling.

Im not a fan of turbo shields at all myself. But, that one is in a league all by itself and if I ever decide to get another TR I most certainly will have one of those. It gives it a custom sleeper look. You should market that. Im sure they would sell like hot cakes. The RAW look makes it look custom. I would not powdercoat that either.

The brushed look is my personal fav. Came out real nice.

Very nice-you should sell these-I'd be in for one!

But I agree with your first post - the turbo is almost too pretty to cover up.
But the finished sheild is very cool.
I admire the engine bay in general.
Very businesslike, functional, yet clean looking.

Thanks. I guess I'm not a big fan of chrome. I try and look at the whole picture too. If you have some good looking stuff but it doesn't look good together, IMO, it looks like crap. I would say that this holds true with looking good AND going fast. It's best to have a well thought out plan. Then take your time, have fun and be willing to think outside the box to reach your goals.

Nice work. I need to find a stock bracket so I can get a shield on mine

For those that have bugged me for the last decade for one of these, now's your chance. Don't say that I didn't warn you.
