Default Custom fuse box cover

This idea spawned off one of my other creations (I might post pics up later of that one). Basically I just made a mold of the fuse box out of fiberglass and resin....a thick layer of bondo and spot putty here and there, along with a lot of sanding this is what I came up with:

Very original - love it. You're probably going to get a hundred PM's asking you to make one for someone else.

Very very nice. Been thinking about doing something similar with a raised Eagle logo, you beat me to it! Keep up the good work

P.S. thought about painting the rest of the fuse box? Just a thought...

You know that thought crossed my mind as I was putting it on....that and "maybe I should have painted it flat black?"

I don't know how to get the box out without having to mess with all the fuse wiring etc... I prob will just leave it as is, because I plan on adding a few other gloss black additions to the engine bay.

Very nice. Talk about custom!

You should do something similar to cover the ugly battery.
