    Engine Cover

    Any idea if an engine cover like those on Nissan, BMW, Kia, etc can be fabricated for our cars? Those big, black covers...

    I find the huge, flat piece of black with the logo that practically takes up the entire engine compartment far sexier than staring at my empty engine bay

    Just something else to get in the way that I have to unscrew to work on my motor in my opinion. My sister in law has one on her Odyssey. I don't care for it. Also, I think the exhaust manifold placement on our cars would present a heat problem to such a cover.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.

    close the hood and put a logo on it lol...also remember that it has to be really flat and stay close to the engine bay, i know some people were talking about their stb's rubbing on the hood liner, thats how thin that thing needs to be...so think about the clearance issues.
