If the 2 seconds it takes to remove the cover I made (which is experimental until I drive the car) makes the exposed fuse block less functional in a case where a fuse is blown and I have to check then I guess technically you are correct. My question to you would be why did Bob Putnam design, manufacture and now sell a black fuse cover that fits over both fuse blocks. Did he design something that would take away from the functionalitty of his own design?

Listen, I know 99% of replica car owners don't give a rats behind about originality. I know that know matter what I do I am not going to transform my ERA into a real car. There is a line in the ERA website that describes the car as a "visual clone" so I am just taking it a step further to suit my desires.

I'm not that stupid to think I am going to make my car "original". I get a rise out of it and thats why I do it. Don't do it for anyone else, to enter into a car show, to impress people, it's just my thing.
