Illuminated Engine Cover

A unique combination of injection-molded PMMA, PC, and high-temperature (to 300F/149C) PA are used to provide thermal and chemical resistance for this engine cover, which has a chromed appearance during daylight but is illuminated in low-light conditions.  The TECHNO (translucent, electro-chromatic, high-intensity novelty optics) process applies an electro-chromatic layer and sealed low-voltage wiring/LED assembly that replaces the hazardous, time consuming, and costly chrome plating process while creating a unique effect that will not flake, peel or delaminate over time.  The assembly is available on new vehicles or can be retrofit back 4 years.
