I read this review in PC magazine, and thought of the BFI, and doing the heatsheild in CAD, and having a machine shop do it up... you beat me to it, here's the link.
Do we want to try to get a group buy together?

SupraCoup3, thats a GREAT idea 
It would be great if we could get all the pieces designed out in AutoCAD perfectly and then have them machine them. I wish my copy of AutoCAD Inventor didnt go bad, would be a LOT easier to design this stuff. Well, I guess someone that I am sending the AutoCAD file to will need to refine it when they do their BFI.

There may be some value in having the top cover professionally made, but as for the bottom scoop, which almost no one will see, the most cost-effective way to make it will remain just slicing up a piece of scrap coreplast with a box cutter, using the template already available from Paul, Peter or mteele.
In fact, when you steal that plastic sign off of someone's lawn, the scoop then knows it is hot property, and works harder to give you that final, extra 1 horsepower out of this mod!

Just plot this template out, tape it to some cardboard, cut it out, and go fromthere.
Im heading to bed, I'll export it to JPEG format for those who need it that way. For those using AutoCAD, feel free to take what I did and make it better with the correct curves, more precise measurements, and stuff like that. Just let us know so we can redistribute it
Calvin, I gave up on the egg cups, just went with the previous BFI designs
Oh, and ONe21, you think I could get some of that heat shield stuff? I have been looking around here where I live and cant find any. And if you did the BFI pieces in carbon fiber....I'll be the first to buy an extra set from you

As for the carbon fiber... I KNOW he doesn't have any at this point, but if someone where he works screws up a reverser shell, then we'll be good to go
