I'm not really sure where to post this thread so I will start here. I have searched for this and have not found a whole lot of information. Are you guys keeping those giant plastic covers on that are in the engine bay or are you removing them?

 

I keep my plastic engine covers on, mainly because I don't have any other place to put them. They do offer some measure of protection from dirt and dust getting on the engine and other components.

 

I think they look good. I have seen some pictures without the covers on and they don't impress me at all.

 

Thanks for the responses. I have been contemplating the removal of these pieces.

 

I wouldnt remove it but you can paint it, I'm painting mine this weekend.

 

One of the first things I did after getting the car was to color match those pieces to the car. Man does it make a difference in the way it looks. It looks naked under there every time I have to remove them.

 

I'm gona remove them this weekend and see how bad it really looks.

 

I left mine on as I think it looks much cleaner with the panels in place.

 

great idea! Any pics you can share?

According to Acura, they are there to control noise and slow heat cycles (?)

 

here's an idea of course yours is different but mine looked like this when I had to remove it to my CAi install..
