That MI sticker is a nice touch! Looks stunning.. =P

wow nice... sick indeed.

I started with a plain aluminum MicroImage engine cover, had a metal fab shop cut it to fit the body of the supercharger, a plating shop anodize it blue, and an engraver etch the MicroImage logo through the blue anodizing. What you see is the aluminum stock material exposed again.

Wait, I don't see the Yaris World logo... only the Micro Image sticker (or is that an engraving too)?

If you and PeterPoop and Whoopee can agree that you want one, I can start another batch process so that you all split the costs for the metal fab shop, the plater, and if desired, the engraver. Also if you can all agree on the same color, that helps because it's a $50 batch cost for up to 5 covers of the same color. The engraver charged me $40 for one but would work with me for a batch order.

Mine cost the most because I had the work done as a one off. Camelll, Doc Zaius, and Kurokuma-kun were able to split many of the costs because there's were done together.

If there are other S/C who want in on this, they should get in on your order.

I don't make any money on this and just pass the costs on to you all.

Oh, I forgot. The choices for anodize colors are here:

PETERPOOP · 03-04-2009, 06:33 PM

So how much would this be when it's all said and done if we went with the black.

I wouldn't want anything engraved. I want to keep the cost down. I am broke as a joke right now. You have no idea.

whooppee777 · 03-04-2009, 06:54 PM

i like. i'm kinda gunna work on getting a carbon fiber engine cover. but if i cant get that done then i could consider this if it were anodized red without the micro image. nothing against micro image, i just like a clean look.

Garm is selling them in TRD red, with no etching, I think.

You going to enter your car in car shows now? You should, you've put some real effort into your Yaris Long.

Thanks, Tony. I probably would enter shows but I don't remember how to put my interior panels back on. I took them off in August to lay in the sound deadener and now stare at this stack of plastic and don't want to put the car back together again.

I start with the covers that Garm sells but with no paint. I think the process of cutting a painted cover to fit the supercharger will chip the paint at the edges. That's why I start with a bare aluminum cover and have it anodized to a specific color.

All you need now is a microimage Meerkat attached to the blitz to make
it really purrr-ty

PETERPOOP · 03-04-2009, 07:04 PM

I basically don't have money for this right now. Sorry.

LtNoogie · 03-11-2009, 08:54 PM

Great, Mike. Can't wait to see the picture. I'm starting another batch of three covers and would like to see what a black cover looks like in the engine compartment.

frownonfun · 03-11-2009, 09:52 PM
