The IS350 engine covers are nice, our IS300 isn't that much. but I don't really care, it looks good actually. even though if it's ugly, its just the engine look.

thanks for the replys..i thought i was the only one that didn't really like it and it sounds like our engines don't look that nice anyways compared to like 2JZ or VTEC motors..

agreed but so is the cover so its 6 of one and half a dozen of the other...plus engine noise will increase outside the car and inside slightly as well.

I hit them with Protectant 303 and they look great.
why would you throw a bottle of protectant 303 at the engine cover? wouldn't that scratch it up?
