DIY - Password:JDM Carbon Fiber Engine Cover Install
I was fortunate enough to be able to grab this piece fairly quickly from Password JDM. Its pretty easy to install but I figured i'd make a thread anyway.
Tools you will need: socket wrench 10mm socket extension 5mm Hex Bit socket (or regular 5mm hex key will work) You should have received the engine cover and two new bolts with shiny and nice machined washers (I received gold as I ordered a bolt kit in all gold and gold strut bars). Step 1) Unbolt Noise Generator - take your socket wrench and 10mm socket with an extension and unbolt these two bolts holding the noise generator down. Step 2) Disconnect hose from Noise generator, tuck away generator for easier work area - Simply pull off this hose below, and tuck the hose end under the strut brace. you can then take the noise generator and tuck it in front of the fuse box like so. Step 3 - Remove 10mm bolt on Fuel line bracket - You will be replacing this bolt with the included bolts. Place this bolt to the side. The other bolt will go into the empty hole on the black bracket underneath this fuel line bracket towards the back (thought I took a picture of this, you will see it regardless once you get the cover on) Step 5 - Install cover - Now that the necessary bolts and items are out of your way, its time to install the cover. Its a tight fit, but it goes in. The easiest way to do this is start by sliding the cover UNDERNEATH the AC hose (the hose pictured above where I told you to remove the bolt from the fuel line bracket). If you try to install the other side first (like I did lol), you won't be able to pull the ac line up and over it without trying to bend the cover and thats the last thing you want to do. Once you get the line above the cover, you want to install it at an angle, like so : \ The reason is because you need to clear this bracket on the noise generator side: It will want to hit but you can manage to get it in there if you put it in properly. Once you clear that bracket, it should go right into place with a little wiggling. cover sitting in after clearing that bracket: Step 6 - Re-Install Noise Generator - Reconnect the black hose to the generator, and then line the generator back up and bolt it back on. the cover goes UNDER the noise generator, and you use the same stock bolts. No bolts are supplied for this side. Step 7 - Install supplied bolts on driver side - Grab the two supplied bolts and install them into their allotted holes. This is where you need the 5mm Hex key or socket.

That is incredibly sexy. A carbon fiber intake tube would really set this off (ala the one Airaid used in their SEMA car).

That looks immensely better than stock! Now you just need an intake and a strut bar to complete the look. Or a supercharger, jussayin'

I wanted this until I thought about how much heat it will trap in the intake manifold. Thoughts?
Thanks for the DIY BTW.
