This is just a thought. But I would consider printing a structure that you want and then layering it with a sheet or two of fiberglass covered with gelcoat. I don’t know what getting the fiberglass to stick to the plastic would entail though.I’ve been entertaining making a custom console for my next MFD since there’s no place it’ll fit in the dash. I’d like to gel coat over it to match so it looks like a planned addition. I’m wondering if there are examples of these out there that I can use for inspiration as I design this thing. I might even design them for other folks if I get a workflow down.

I printed out some "winguts" to add to some bolts to make an impeller puller tool for the ones that have threads.

Then I made a similar tool for the ones that don't have the threads....

Trying to design and print some new vent hole covers. If they turn out okay, I'll add some pics of the install.

I've looked at the ss ones, and am concerned that the slat design would overly restrict airflow. The oem inserts have almost no slats which I assume was done to ensure max airflow for the engines. As I've upgraded from the original 7.4s to 8.2s I'd be concerned about putting anything on there that could inhibit airflow.You can buy those pretty cheap in SS
Is this for your horn cover? If so I can send you the file I madeTrying to design and print some new vent hole covers. If they turn out okay, I'll add some pics of the install.

Did you mount the horns yet?Wanted to replace my “in hull” horns with a new set. The new ones are louder but mount differently so I made a new mount that will direct the horns out and seal off the rest of the hole. Not sure if this will hold up but here it is.

just need to seal the gaps with some sealant.
No I haven’t been to the parts store yet. I want to put a piece of rubber between the mount and hull.Did you mount the horns yet?
I haven't tried gelcoat, but I have used two-part epoxy, which seems to had some durability as well as a nicer finish.I sprayed some gel coat on a 3D printed part last night. Looks really promising. I’ll post bc an update after I sand and buff.
