Engine cover looks great...i painted all my covers 2 weekends ago to "freshen" them up with a semi flat black, this makes me want to do my engine cover in a different color now.
Then people in the oregon thread will really be confused by who is who
That is similar to the one me, and him have. Some how though his is alot narrower than mine but both are the faux carbon fiber. Oh, and they were not 60$..think mine was 13$ shipped. Just keep an eye out for any of them that are 115mm, (length across top of rear window). Keep in mind though, the spoiler that him and i have are not sold as "roof spoilers" but as decklid spoilers for a 93 civic. Good Luck in finding what you need.

i was thinking the same too before i bought one for 3rd gen version. i tried placing it on the black portion of the grille but they're too high and hardly visible. typeS badge will look better with grille mod by cutting off the middle bar.
