I am looking at making a carbon fibre engine cover for my car.
Although the standard car comes with a metallic cover, after market carbon fibre ones are available but very expensive.
Just wondered if I could get some general advice on the best way to go and which process means I wont damage the existing cover if used as a template.
I've attached a pic to help show the size and profile.
From looking at the general tutuiral videos and the shape of the engine cover it looks like a 'relatively' simple shape, but just want to ensure I dont go down the wrong path.
Any information would be appreciated.
Regards,
Lenny

Thanks Dravis for the response.
I am attending the training course in June, so am planning on going with several parts under my arms to discuss with the guy running the course and ensuring I buy all the right stuff.
Ive started buying some basic equipment and tried a bit of skinning with the skinning kit already.
Im also designing a bike frame, but this is still in the jig design stage (Nice father and son project), I'm going for the premade tubes for a first attempt before I go for anything more elaborate.
I can understand the addiction, this Carbon fibre appears to be the future............
