Saved the original plenum cover that had the engine assemblers signature tag and bought a new plain one and painted satin black. Coil covers are LB red.

Our covers were replaced under warranty a couple of years ago, and the problem is so common that the dealer had replacements sitting on their shelf.

When I bought my 2014 (now traded) I had zero red,so I did this. Found the carbon flash lettering on Ebay.
