Before you criticize me just know that I will never sell this car so I'm unconcerned about resale value.

It's interesting to reflect on the evolution of custom car modifications, particularly engine bays. A lot of hot-rods had part or all of their hoods removed to expose the engine which was usually accented with shiny parts and colorful paint. A number of high-end mid-engine sports cars have had glass covering their engines. Now that we're into a new era we see the same theme in some of twiersum's mods. An engine under glass is now replaced with exposed power electronics under glass. Chrome fittings and colorful engines are replaced with colorful LEDs highlighting exotic electrical parts. It's kind of cool how we combine some ideas from the past with technology from the present and future.

Probably with carbon fiber cutting tools. You can make pretty clean and accurate cuts with carbide-grit cutting wheels on rotary tools. If you need to follow a line you can often use a very small circular saw (3"blade) with a fence clamped on the part.

Sweet! Are you concern with added heat from direct sun exposure? If so, did you add a mod to help with cooling the PEM?

There is already an fan in the PEM to circulate air, likely guessing it will be good enough.
