Windshield cowl replacement
Anyone replaced your windshield cowling? Wondering how it's put in and where to get a replacement. I've seen a bunch of carbon fiber stickers that go over the top, but I just want a brand new not faded factory replacement. Thanks!

The replacement is not too bad. Remove both wiper arm assemblies, push pins and I think there may be one two screws as well (the screw part I'm not sure of since it's been so long for me). BTW, you might want to have some 3M double sided tape on hand in case you need it. Get the 3/4" width and make sure it's the gray colored stuff (outdoor use). You may need it on the back side of the new plenum.
Tip: Start your wipers and kill the power when they are in mid-sweep. Mark the blade position with some masking tape on the windshield before removing.
HTH,
Robert

I've had mine out and painted it body color.
It's pretty easy. Remove wiper arms, disconnect a couple washer hoses, and remove the 4 or 5 push pins in the flat tray area of the cowl.
Slide it forward towards the engine to remove, as there are some tabs that slide under the windshield,
