    welcome to the forums...
    good luck with your new product. Looks nice
    Personally I'll stick with my boat bling (http://www.boatbling.net) cover. Its already on the boat and T-6 aircraft grade aluminum....

    I saw that at the boat show, and it looks good, but think the boatbling cover is a little more pleasing to the eye... But that's me
    Good Luck!

    I can understand dressing up the engine bay a little.. But I don't see how these covers can flow more air then the stock one that's slotted up the yin yang?
    Our custom cowlings are patented to increase air flow through your motor and draw more heat away from the motor than standard or stock cowlings.
    And are you sure "patented" is the right word to be using on that website? Typically if someone is claiming a patent, they usually have a patent # in paranthesis right behind that statement.
    RD <--- noticed the lack of # anywhere on the website

    Yes we have seen those, they look great.
    But don't you have to take the cover off everytime you need to check your fluids?

    All very good questions, wonder if they'll get answered? Get a carb, don't have to worry about covers besides that of your arrestor.

    We appreciate all the response to our posting...
    We do have a pantent pending.
    To make plactic covers stronger they have to make them curved, which actually creates a blanket effect which holds heat right above the manifold. With our covers and there cut outs and not having to have the 1" lip around the outside edge, it allows more airflow across the top of the motor.

    I could use an alien style cowl for a Merc 280.

    Boat Bling, all the way. But then again, they are friends and I've got a 525 so I can't use either of the products.
