Carbign Craft Alternator Cover

Anyone seen this? More importantly, has anyone purchased and installed one and willing to provide additional photos to review and drool? :happy0180:



I'm not sure of the fitment limitations, but I am considering purchasing one to pair with my Password:JDM intake manifold cover.

I feel like some of these parts are just hiding the engine components in the same way most new cars just have a totally plastic engine bay top. This just doesn't do it for me.

I'm with you on this one, it maybe a good idea if you have a vented hood on your car to keep water off the Alt and AC apart from that I'll give it a miss.

I think it looks pretty nice as well. Its engine bling no doubt. It really has no improved function...that does constitute a piece like this as being rice in some circles. In my opinion, if you match the show with the go, who cares.

Gotta learn really quick in this game to not care what people think. Its not ugly. It doesn't need to be "functional", its just for looks.

Looks like it might just barely be compatible with the PW:JDM cover, where the intake pipe is. Might need to do a little trimming? Normally I don't like engine covers but boxer engines are butt ugly, so cover it up!

This:


Looks wayyyy better than this:
