Gladly. This is only a drop on cover, I've also made a cover for the coolant expansion tank. Both are carbon fiber 2x2 twill. They will be added to the Project Nine program 944 lineup before years end.

Instagram. @ _projectnine_

Here is a look at the cover installed on one of my Widerstandsfahig builds...#003. The large carbon fiber accent panel I designed and produced exclusively for this build after adding the Borla induction ITB system.

Wow they both look great!! Please let me know when they are available to buy. I should have my 944 back on the road by the end of this year.

I finally found a picture of the carbon fiber coolant reservoir cover. This is a picture of the first production run of both covers fresh out of the molds. The coolant cover is just what is shown here, it consists of the top and the sides that are visible. The pieces have yet to be trimmed and have the holes for the caps and a fluid level window cut in.

The fastener seats are now formed and the first coat of high build primer is being applied. At least two coats of primer will be used in these final steps before waxing.

Between primer coats I wanted to get a look around the chassis from a distance at all angles. So, I threw on some wheels and dropped it on dollies.

Looking good Brian.

I can just imagine it with some fat tires on there.

Wax on, wax off. and again and again.

Because of the design around the vent openings, a two piece mold is needed. Otherwise, I'll never get the new fenders out of the molds.

Here are the waxed fenders with a clay separation formed. The clay forms one side of what will become a flange joining the two pieces that make the mold.

Laying-up the the smaller portions of the two piece molds. Once the fiberglass is built up on this piece, the clay will be removed and the area will be cleaned of all clay residue. Then wax, again, but only on the newly formed flange.
