Default Making a custom A/C cover
I've been looking for something a little different to use as an air cleaner cover. I've been playing around with etching aluminum. This is my first shot at it. See what you think. I'm going to polish it this weekend...If I like it, I'm going to make a better/keeper. The etch will show up better after the polish and paint is finished. I can't decide if I want to keep the trim ring or not. I'll get better pics after closer to finish.

That looks pretty damn good, I'd lose the trim ring though.
