Is there any increase in ambient temps in the cabin due to the clear cover? I presume there is some heat shield that is removed for this????

The heat increase occurs after you shut the car off as the glass will warm up to, otherwise while driving the glass will remain cool to the touch. The sound is pretty much the same or slightly less than OEM when tested through a sound meter.

I think that looks very well done. I would paint the intake runners, or maybe the part that says Porsche. There are some ways to dress that up, but I like what you have done with the lights.

I would Not jump ship from Alans CEC I really like the Outside part better then the Carpet Look but I can understand about the wait ,Its been how long ? closing in on 8 Months or so .or longer? But I really like what Alan is doing with the outside framing better .It looks more professional but Just my Opinion.some will prefer the strutking.you are a lucky dog to be on the First list

I think it would be better if all the carpet was also removed and a larger engine cover was used.

thats as big as the engine cover can go, the opening for the cover access isn't very large.

Now that looks pretty cool. Get some silicone and braided hoses to finish the look.
