Need a Norwood TR carbon fiber engine cover?

how much they are asking for ?

 

Yeah how much? That minor detail is kind of important

 

If memory serves, they were $2,200 or $2,700.

I would like one but dont like the carbon look. So I have always thought about buying a used white chicklet and laying in some glass.

 

Yikes, that's about $1700 to $2200 more than I was willing to pay.

 

too bad the whole thing isn't transparent.

 

I am interested. It is on my project list of things to do.... can you confirm the price and are these guys the only ones that make them?

It seems a bit steep for what you get... but I sure do like the look....

IM me if there is enough interest at this time.

 

So, I was going to put a post up just like this, because I called James about two weeks ago asking the same thing, and I got the same response. The website previously said $1800, and I didn't ask him about prices when I called. He told me the same thing, that they make them in batches of 20, and that they would need at least 4 or 5 to commit to buy it in order to do a run of twenty. I sent James an email asking if he would mind if I put his email address on this website but got no response.

Count me in for one for my 1990 Testarossa, I think that it looks great.

I stand corrected. IMHO its worth it especially if your TR is black. But mine is white and I like white Gob Dammit! Besides I already spent my party money on the clutch.

 

I prefer a complete plastic, without carbon, like it is on my koenig competition

Wow Romano....thats gorgeous. As a former Propmaster....I need to look up a Vacuformer and give them my Chicklet.

 

Eric: Thanks for working on this. I'm in.

 

Hmmmm.....

 

You get me a black stock cover and you can have mine, and pay for the swap, shipping, etc.

will the sun UV rays damage anything in the engine bay? I know UV rays degrade rubber and whatnot.

 

I don't why UV would damage anything in the engine. Several of the later model Ferrari's and Lamborghini's have the "engine under glass". Plus, if the car isn't stored outside, then it shouldn't be an issue anyway.

 

Hopefully, enough people will be interested in putting together a large enough order to make it happen. It's easily reversible too and only takes five minutes to install, four existing bolts, plug in brake light wire.

The brake light is longer and the cover is lighter in weight than the original

I think mine is ten years old and it modernizes and updates the look of the TR

Since we have confirmed that the price is $1800, out of curiosity, how many people do we have that are interested in getting one of these?
Thanks,
Kurt

 

Certainly solves the "(how) do I replace the crumbly foam?" quandary some of you face. I don't know who made mine but does not look like Norwood photos posted. I like that it retains the original 3rd brake light with the recessed look. Hope it works out for you guys, there are a lot more businesses now with autoclaves that can take this kind of thing on than there were 5 or 10 years ago.

That doesn't look like the engine cover I bought from Norwood.

Both the glass size and brake light is much smaller on your cover, which does look nice though.

You can see more of the engine with the Norwood cover.

My brake light is not as recessed either. Your's is the OEM brake light: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/141283075-post95.html
