IMAGES of new engine cover, weight of subwoofer/amp

Hello Everyone,

I just installed my new clear engine access cover. Right now it is only a prototype and still lacks a sealing gasket and the metal bezel frame to cover up the unsightly items. The noise level increase within the car is not too bad maybe a dB or two. It's neat to see the front of the engine when inside the car! Removing that awful gooey black sealant took almost an hour.

Now, I need some help from you guys since I would like to sell a few of these (don't worry they will be top quality). Since I am badly color-blind, I need assistance in the selection of colors. If I made a metal bezel frame that surrounds the edges of the clear cover plate and the unsightly things just below it, what color and finish should the metal be? I can paint it silver to match the center housing, or it could be black to provide some contrast.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have also attached an image of the McIntosh subwoofer/amplifier module. It weighs in at 12.3 pounds.

Thanks,

Jay

Update, clear engine access panel

Hello everyone,

Sorry about the long delay. The clear panel is 1/4" thick scratch resistant (and bullet-proof) Lexan. This means that it's triple laminated, acylic/Lexan/acrylic. I should have a complementary bezel completed within a week of this posting, so I'll keep you updated.

Thanks, Jay
