I dont know of a software that is going to give you the look of a particular enclosure in a particular car. I doubt that there is software that can even do that. Simply because there are way too many enclosures, and way too many cars to be compiled into a single program.

However, I do know of software that can show you what an enclosure would look like without the car around it. It's called Solid Works. Now it's not cheap by any means, but what it can do is amazing. My father uses it daily. It is a 3d CAD-type program that allows you to build seperate parts of items, and then assemble them in that same program, plus you can import the parts into the drawing portion of the program and make yourself some blueprints.

You can also show dimensions of literally anything. I found it to be very useful in this project. The program is a little tough to get used to at first, but once you get goin, its a very simple program. Just like Photoshop and others.

i use autocad mostly.... it allows you to do alot more, but has a very steep learning curve.... plus you can properly create wire diagrams in the system and dimension them accordingly.    strongly recommended if you feel like learning something new.....
