Use Bionicle Chest Covers for Technic Cars?

[DLuders]

Has anybody ever used Lego Bionicle Chest Covers for their Lego Technic MOCs? I saw this Ixion sculpture on MOCPages and wondered if the 64296 "Bionicle Toa Webbed Fin Armor" part (pictured below) that were used on the wings could be used for ROUNDED hoods (bonnets) on cars, or on door panels. There are several Bionicle Chest Covers that could be integrated into some REAL UNIQUE futurecars. What do you think?

64296 "Bionicle Toa Webbed Fin Armor":

57559pb04 "Bionicle Barraki Carapar Chest Cover, Marbled Trans-Orange Pattern" :

57559pb02 "Bionicle Barraki Carapar Chest Cover, Marbled Pearl Light Gray Pattern" :

There are several other Bionicle Chest Covers and other pseudo-Technic pieces (like Bohrok Windscreens) that could be used for Technic MOCs -- look through this Bricklink Reference Catalog list of Bionicle parts.

I have used this piece (black with no printing) as a differencial cover plate on a monster truck.
