Engine Cover

I looked around the forums a bit and couldn't really find anything on this, I might be looking in the wrong areas. Has anyone smoothed the covers out and painted them or done anything to them yet? thanks

Password:JDM has products that cover the entire engine bay. There are also other companies like Nameless and Carbign Craft just to name a few.

Yea the plasti dip worked well for the plastic cover and still looks fine after about 8k miles on there. I can remove it at anytime too so thats the good thing about it.

I have the Password:JDM cover, and it's pretty freaking cool. Give the car a nice bit of bling.
