Default Engine Cover

Hello everyone
I am looking for information on this model of part.



I saw that it excites the fiberglass but I don't know if it will last over time .
Choose fiberglass or carbon fiber , which is best and why?
Thank you for your help .

Carbon is better but expensive and stronger. Fiberglass is cheaper and not as strong.

Matter of what fits your budget.

Note these will hold more heat on the intake should that matter from a perform@nice stand point. .

For this kind of part, glass Fiber is much more than good enough. This part does not withstand any strain what so ever. Not need for carbon there, it will not even save you weight, if the glass fibre is well done.
my 2 cents.

Merci à vous deux d'avoir répondu, mais je ne sais toujours pas quoi choisir.

Est-ce que quelqu'un d'entre vous possède ce modèle de pièce en fibre de carbone ou en fibre de verre pour en parler.
Merci

Patrick

That cover was an option a number of years ago, but I have not seen any advertisement for not members mentioning the availability for that part in a while.
