Default Engine Bay Detail

Took the covers off and I’m not looking back. I like seeing what makes her go. No need to cover up the heart of the BEAST! lol

I ditched the side covers a while back, don't see any reason to ever put them back on, I may have even tossed them out. Still rocking the engine cover though, no good reason why. Do you find it any louder in the cabin with the covers off?

Looks nice and clean, good job!

The covers are scuffed and not in the best shape. Half of the tabs were missing and the engine cover also had scuffs and stains that were hard to ignore. Engine noise “seems” a bit louder but I really can’t tell. Having the covers on also makes it difficult to see any problems that may be going on underneath all that plastic.

Default Engine cover does help “clean” up the look.
