Where can I get the 4 price carbon fiber engine trim panels from?

Mine are pretty heat faded

Or what other option are you guys buying for back there?

I they are just faded, take them off and get you some gloss black and respray

 

[Dagofast]

That’s a great idea

Are the ones you have original Lamborghini OEM? I was hopeing OEM ones didn't fade? THANKS!

I believe so
Just the firewall one looks bad
It honestly may clean up
Need to take it off

AHH? OK I thought these were the original carbon fiber ones on an AV not the plastic ones on a Gallardo!

Yes, these DO FADE on the Gallardo (i.e. the plastic ones) and as recommended above, I painted mine about 4 years ago and they look fine.

Have any pics?
And what paint did you use?

 

[blossomboofy]

I took mine to the local smash repair shop (in Australia) and he matched it to the best looking (non faded) surface I had. It looks OEM to me and honestly I can't tell and neither can the car judges!

Can recommend powder coating the intake cover with crimp paint 😊

How big of a pain in the a”” so get the intake off?
And where you able to reuse gasket?

The intake cover is not so difficult (on the Lamborghini scale) to remove. The bolts near the fire wall are a little hidden. The rest is straight forward. I reused the gaskets.
And then you will also be able to see the Easter egg inside 😊

I was able to get ahold of a spare set of plain black plastic, aftermarket engine bay panels for my 2005. I literally just coordinated with a local outfit to HydroDip them to a carbon fiber finish. I know I am cheating big time .

The company assured me there are no heat issues as they have done actual engine parts. Will hopefully have them back in a couple of weeks and looking good.

Keep me posted as I would be interested in the process
