plastic engine covers
anyone else hate the plastic engine covers on the 1uz? its a beautiful engine to look at. the cover is always the first thing to go in my cars. call me crazy but I just love the way the 1uz looks without the cover. thoughts?

I have seen enough wires, plumbing tubes, belts, and naked dirty metal in my life. I want them covered up so I can forget about how they all work, and I just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the whole experience.

my biggest reason for keeping it on is just to keep less dirt from getting on things, and it also probably keeps certain sounds out a bit more
and i think the vvt-i 1UZ is very nice looking engine, even with the hoses and wiring. makes it look more sophisticated lol

I'm with you, I tore that **** off as soon as I could and tossed the crap in the trash
All it does is get in the way whenever you have to do any work on the engine. Try replacing the coolant temperature sensor or spark plugs and wires --- 90% of the work doing that is fiddling with the useless plastic crap.

I sfrongly agree that the motor looks great but I am very obsessed with keeping everything clean and quiet. I'll post up all the **** sitting on my cover tomorrow from just 2 weeks of winter driving. Rather dirt be on a easily wiped off cover than all over the upper intake.
