I'm not a fan of engine covers. That is what the hood is there to do. However, I like this cover better than the stock fuel rail covers.

I agree and it retains heat....$$ could have been spent towards rear fender flares or a hood.

Not sure about on the car. I think it might be too big and cover too much. But then again thats what it is supposed to do.
Not sure yet..

, but whatever floats your boat.

Those 5 bills could have had much better use elsewhere other than as a heat retentioner. It makes for good eye candy though.

I understand the ones that don't like covers in general.....BUT I like it! Looks super sharp, and looks like it's well made and painted well. Nice detail to add to your other mods. Very good styling.

Everybody gets beaten over time, including me,(race track of course....), but I've also beaten a few cars that looked bad as hell, but nothing under the hood to back it up. I've always said, if you're going to look mean, at least have a bark........if not a bite!!

If you're into show cars, for trophy's, I understand, no problem .

Just an observation.....
