Merc 525 Carbon Fiber Coolant Covers
 
I have seen them in several photos on 525's. Are they available as a seperate part?

I've often wondered about them too, they definitely look sharp but I've never seen who sells them. Steve

Jarrod Ward at www.aquaprintgrafix.com did mine. My ps tank and coolant tank together set me back $175 plus shipping.

Don't bother asking them to leave you a "sight window" so you can see the levels. Even so, you can't see it due to the surface prep that is done to the tanks.

Came out REAL nice though!

Thanks for the info. Eric at Teauge found them for me. They retail for $621.51 right out of the Merc catalog.

200 bucks sounds better to me than over 600. Unless you are buying a "real" custom made carbon fiber tank from Merc, it will be the same coating as what other companies shrink it with...

$200 sounds better to me as well. The Merc ones are just covers, sounds like yours are the complete tanks covered in cf. What is the turn around time approx?

It took about a week plus an extra day or two shipping etc.. well worth it. I'll put up some pics when I get a chance.

It is a "total" coating instead of just the topside or edges... it's like a water transerable heat shrink that literally looks just like carbon fiber. Hard to tell if you did not know...

I can do the carbon for you.

the valve covers are not cleared yet, they will be dark like the air cleaner after the logo is put on them and cleared

How much to do valve covers?
Can you do a Intake manifold?
Thanks
Steve
