Carbon Fiber Fan / Engine Shroud
I would like to add some bling to the engine when I install the 3.2 intake. Does anyone make a carbon fiber fan / engine shroud? Please provide any information you have.
Thanks,

Forget the shroud. Cool would be carbon fiber engine tin! I Plus, bet it would be a lot easier to fab than a shroud.

Carbon Fiber
I just checked the Getty Design site and they carry it up to 3.0.
Down load the catalog page 20. Don't know the difference between those models and 3.2, but its a start ![]() http://www.gettydesign.com/PDF%20Files/2007%20Retail%20Catalog.pdf |

Getty makes both- although the engine tin will not be available for the C2 turbo, or any turbo for that matter

Hey Tre Cup do you know if their shroud will fit a 91 turbo? So does anyone offer the tin for a turbo?

That shroud is mine...
The engine in the photo is mine...the shroud came from American International Racing:
http://americaninternationalracing.com/ I bought it 5 or so years ago and am not sure if they still carry it. I will tell you that I bought one from another fiberglass supplier and there was no comparison in quality of the unit and gelcoat...AIR was definitely the best. Glad the photos still are floating around... Jack ![]()

AIR didn't make that shroud. The resold it from Getty Design/ MA Shaw. They list some of Getty's parts in their catalog to fill out their line

I bought mine from Getty. They are nice folks and the product was good quality. I bought the shroud only, no air channels or other attachments.

I've seen carbon fiber overlays. It's some kind of a heat shrik process that gives the impression of having carbon fiber. Not too sure how it would work on a Porsche engine but I've seen it on several Subaru engines in sandrails.

I will be investigating this option. http://www.dashboardcentre.com.au/information2.php?info_id=2 I have had them do quite a lot of work on my custom Benz and the finish is fantastic. I am sure they could do the engine shroud in CF finish the only drawback maybe the heat factor. I am sure there are similar companies in the US.
