I wish there was a way to "un-see" that..
Some things are better left alone.

Yep, a bit creepy. Is there a "shake that off of me" smiley?

I don't get this trend of putting covers on everything in the engine bay. A hood under the hood. I get dressing up and having a good looking engine bay for car shows, been doing it for years but this covers under the cover trend that started with caddilac in the 80s just makes no sense and to me, takes away from the car. If you did not want to show off the engine bay, leave the hood closed in the first place. If you do, show the engine and other mechanical bits for the wonders that they are, don't cover everything in bits of draped painted plastic.

Just one mans opinion.
