Just looking for a custom engine cover *the plastic piece that sits on top of the motor* any ideas on where to look to find one

 

make one.
people paint them all the time.

I dont believe there are "custom" ones that are available for sale.

 

ahhh thought they would actually make them..oh well time to pull out the spray paint

 

I vote for you to take that cover right off. Mine was always in the way when I wanted to do stuff under the hood.

 

I took my engine covers off the first year I had the car.

its been 4 years since I bought my car

 

I tinted my car, next all the plastic under the hood came off. The engine covers look so much better in a printer box imo.

 

I thought the engine cover is there for a reason?
I was planning on taking it off my 99 tl but i herd its bad.
Not sure lol

 

^the covers are there for asthetic reasons. They dont do much else, its perfectly fine to leave them off.

 

They do probably muffle the engine noise somewhat, but not a great deal. They also make things look a lot cleaner for someone who will never get under the hood themselves to do work.

 

Hydrodip it!

 

Holy F! ^ that looks amazing. How many hours did you put in?

 

Haha thanks man! Some local marines do it out of their garage, so I just cleaned and sanded my covers and gave it to them. Cost me $200 for all the covers but that is really cheap for hydro dipping and it came out great. I painted them myself previously but this looks much better than my hack job haha

 

that does look really good!

 

Very professional job sockr1!

 

That's 100% badass! The red oil cap looks nice too.

 

Can we get the marines contact? I'd like to get some stuff hydro dipped but don't know where to get them done.

 

Anyone want to give me their engine covers ... PM me

I guess I wouldnt mind paying a little.

 

Had mine painted....love it.

 

That is gorgeous

 

Steven, I would be terrified of the badges melting off their glue and flying into the radiator fan.

 

didn't mean to thread jack OP's thread but wanted to show the options

thanks for all the compliments, i get a lot in person whenever i have to get under the hood or want to show it to people

here is their contact info, like i said they are just some marines doing it out of their garage and not sure what their overall capabilities is, but worth just contacting them. they are pretty cool guys

ummmmmm thats awsome!

i wanted to do the wrinkle red like the Integra type R valve cover. probabaly still will eventually

and now i know i can just remove it and drop it at the powder coating spot, Lol i taught the cover had a actual purpose to protect the engine now i know its for looks.

 

damn, that looks cool
