CF V6 LFX Engine Cover

This is a swap,,, so the original cover wont work. I really like the V8Roadsters cover but wanted something more symmetrical. Couldn't find any other options so I made this. It has a fiberglass base with a CF overlay. I didn't use epoxy ,,used surf board resin. It's cheaper and has built in UV protection. First time I've done CF,, didn't get the weave quite as straight as I could of but like it overall. Still need to wet sand and polish it.

I really like the cover. I can’t bring myself to spend $375 for the V8R cover. I have an LFX in my 66 Chevelle so the stock cover looks goofy.
How does your cover attach to the manifold?

Sorry for the tardy reply. The plan is just a couple dabs of silicone. I was told that is how the V8Roadseter guys do it.
