Avanza DIY (Engine Hood Cover - under)

**Marfin** · May 11th, 2008, 06:54 PM

Hi guys,
Instead of buying the engine hood cover which would probably cost more than 1k pesos, here is a DIY of engine hood cover.
Enjoy.

Purpose:
- Improve sound proofing
- Protect hood paint from extreme heat of the engine
- Looks neat.
- (....any inputs from the forum)

Material:
0.5 Meter of Home insulation with 10mm thickness (got this from ace 1M for 99.9 pesos)

Tools:
Cutter
Scissors
Old news paper (for molding)
Spoon (this is no mirienda use

)
Marker

The Making

1. Make the mold from old news paper using scissors and marker
2. From the mold, cut the insulation material using the cutter
3. Then installed it using the kitchen spoon (which i found easier)

After the Tagaytay Fun run, can't stop thinking of doing it so here i am...

The progress

Continue.....
