Has anyone ordered this cheap engine cover?
I’m in Canada and I’m looking at $600+ for a cover vs. this one. Anyone order it, yet?

I did ….it’s not as sthick as the OEM covers, but once you put it in place it doesn’t move. I repainted mine with the red scheme I wanted, and it works perfectly. This is Rustoleum gloss apple red, with no clearcoat, plenty of gloss with just two coats.

It's going to get covered with dust and dirt anyway sooner or later.

Bought one and returned it. It was OK but it was a flat matte finish and looked cheap.

Looks pretty good in the pic and as long as it stays securely in place, hard to beat the price.
