Agreed. $400 for an engine cover which serves no practical purpose is

Buy parts just for baller status at the local meet?

I mean I'm guilty, but I can justify the STI button since I use it everyday and the STI knob since it changes shift quality (like a sir!).

Nothing wrong with having money and spending it on what you enjoy.

STI button is a must for any BRZ limited owner! I have one of those as well. Good taste!

Like @Supermassive said, having the car to your taste inside and out is what its all about. I got great prices on all the Password:JDM bits. When I pop the hood, I can't stop smiling and that's without a turbo or supercharger.

Decent prices and Carbon Fiber? Especially with something that will have very limited demand? Does not compute...

Uhhh, you guys realize this is in the cosmetic modification section of the forum, right? Haters go back to the engine/ECU/exhaust section, please and thanks.

This looks about a bajillion times better than the stock inlet manifold and cover:



On a side note, I really want that PW:JDM engine cover but if I get the Sprintex twin screw S/C it won't have a place to go... If I get the Vortech S/C on the other hand... J/K I wouldn't let a piece of carbon fiber dress-up dictate what supercharger I get.

I do have a nice Nikon camera, but never have it handy. My Blackberry 9930 take a pretty bad picture with poor lighting there's no doubt about that.

So far for the sure parts:
-Fuse box cover
-Pulley covers
-Manifold cover

What other parts do you think will work or would you like to see made??????
These parts are all available and made already from a Carbon fiber factory.

This is the best and only engine cover so far that I've seen.

Looks fantastic!

What use would that have?? its not like there is a gap btwn the bumper and radiator support... it would honestly be a waste of CF and time and money....
