Bare aluminum corrodes when exposed to deicing salt (road salt). Then again the front of the engine is just one big cast aluminum cover, so...

I too prefer raw aluminum and beautiful welds. A little steel wool or brillo makes a nice soft matte finish.

Yeah, but I live in the deep, deep South. There is no road salt here.

No because the brake fluid reservoir is in the way.

We can leave it raw aluminum for those wanting it, but figured most people would want a coating or protectiong of some sort.

We would be able to do something similar to the STi catch cans we made with the coolant reservoir built in, but didn't see many people needing that option on the FT86 so this way its a bit cheaper, and could potentially be added if requested.

Any benefit of this for a DD?

No plan of going boosting, may build up the engine once more parts are available.
