So I'm trying this again (mods-before deleting please check with astro, I have the ok from him)...

I have the ok to provide the forums 30 CF engine covers available now for MY04-07.

Here was my original thread:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172339

More information on the CF engine cover can be found here:
http://mikec70.googlepages.com/acura...8cfenginecover

I created that website so it's easier for me to update the page (can't do it on this site).

Fire away with questions...

Thanks.

Mike

 

looks good mike! will this fit a 07 type-s? the covers are a bit different. or will you be able to make one for the type-s in that style like this let us type-s owners know, thanks

 

This has been approved by Astro, so let's get started.

 

I wish someone would do this on the 2g side..

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't sorry. I was pissed too when I opened up the hood to find out it was a completely different cover. I can certainly make one for the type S but I would need paid deposits. I went on a limb with this cover and so far no one has bought anything eventhough the other thread showed a lot of interest in them.

 

If I am not mistaken, I think stillhere 153 said that he put a 04-06 TL engine cover on a Type S

However, you have to change the metal bracket that the engine cover connects to.

So there for, the 07-08 owners (Base and Type S) we could switch to the carbon fiber engine cover but we would have to fabricate a 3.5 Vtec plate or sill that fits the top portion.

The base 07-08 owners could just use the 04-06 plate.

 

looks nice!

 

That said,
The 04-06's have a more decorative manifold top with the "3.2 ACURA" inscribed on the top... If you retrofit the 04-06 cover onto your type-s, your manifold is gonna be gross looking...
It'll look like this:



You'd need to replace that too.

I have a custom black painted 04-06 manifold cover, just like this one if anyone needs it $100... PM me



If I did't a mirror polished manifold, I'd be all over these BTW.

 

Would they be the same price as the Non S model?

 

Mike, can you make one with an RRP type color? If so, I'll send dinero immediately...

Thanks,
Mike

The S and non S model should be the same cover, so yes, price will be the same. PM me if you have any questions.

 

Sorry not familiar with nomenclature, what's RRP again?

 

I'll double check again with my dealer regarding S, non S and MY fitment again. It looks like Acura has a few covers for all their models. Sorry guys, tough for me to figure this out without actually owning a 3G TL.

 

What is the delivery time on the covers after you pay for them?

 

i had a CF engine cover..from MB I just sold it..looked nice but i don't know if i would use it for daily driving..

 

About 4 weeks or so (that is to your door) as these are made to order. Depending on the schedule of the shop, it might be a day or two until they get to the cover.

 

Just so you guys know the fitment is verified by me... Which means it fits 100%

Once you purchase mike h's cover with the proper bracket you will be good to go

Also for some of you who would consider it, see if you find a local shop to powdercoat the metalic non branded 07-08 valve cover to a color of your choice, it would be a very good addition to the tl's engine bay

Kind of sad by the fact you haven't received as much interest as firstly perceived... I vote for doing a carbon fiber radiator plate

 

Shit balls... I'd buy that Mike. Can I pre-order!

 

Thanks for the verification.

I can do a CF radiator plate. But I would like to get enough pre-paid interest for that one (learning from this experience).

 

So Mike, can you make the Type-S cover as shown as the pic above? If so, what kind of fitment do I need, ie brackets.etc. Would be interest in the Type-S version if it fits perfectly.

 

I'm only selling the cover as shown in my first post. Stillhere153 made that cover fit on a Type S. You'd have to ask him (or he oculd kindly post here ) what is required for it.

 

Any plans in the future for the type-s engine cover?

 

RRP = Redondo Red Pearl

 

For 07-08 Base & Type S, you will require switching the engine cover from a 2 boltup to the 3 boltup

Assembly: 17147-RDA-A00
List Price: $8

Very easy retrofit, involves removal and reinstall of 2 bolts

 

At this point no, sorry. I didn't do due diligence in my research for the covers. Hoping to recover my costs first.

P.S. Thanks to those that have ordered!

 

Redondo Red Pearl...05 TL Color

 

Ah ok. Thanks. Unfortunately only regular CF color. Variations will drive up the costs tremendously (and everything is going up these days).

 

Mike,

Put me down for a CF Radiator Plate. Let me know what the pre-paid amount will be.

 

Mike! You've gotta do a 3G Type-S! Put me in for one; should start a list and get some deposits! Also down for a CF Radiator Plate =)

 

I'm down for the Type-S! =p

 

Well, it seems like there is quite a bit of interest for the Type S covers. I asked my friend and he said that he would need a PAID order of 10 to get the ball rolling. Price will most likely be the same as the cover is just about identical in size and material. Just to be clear, we are talking about this cover right?



What say you?

I'll double check with astro to see if I can keep it in this thread.

 

Nice, Mike is really going out of his way to make you guys happy, Type S engine covers for all

 

Mike any chance of getting a CF roof spoiler for the TL? Kind of like the following that you showed in your thread?

 

cmon mike...
radiator plate!

Yep, the above cover. I am interested. Are we starting a list?

 

This is really cool

 

I sent you PM, you never replied.

 

Please keep the topic on the CF covers. If you have any other questions, please PM me.

 

Thanks Mike got my CF cover today







Easy install when your engine is warm. The foam just peels off and sticks back on the CF cover.

 

I recieved and installed mines too, awsome product! fitment was just so perfect.If you come out with anymore cf products ill be sure to pick them up thx again!
