Replacing the C8 engine cover
What is the process in replacing the stock engine cover with one of the custom painted covers currently on the market? Any special preparation, procedure, or things to keep in mind? I currently have an HTC, so not a consideration now, but as soon as someone perfects a clear window mod for the thermal shield, I'll be all in for engine compartment mods...
