Default F-Sport Carbon Fiber Engine Cover (Lucky Find)

Went for my 5000 Mile Service today at local Central Florida dealer...

Happened to see a carbon fiber engine cover on display in parts dept. Brand New OEM Part (PTR48-53080)
Did a test fit and drove away with it for $200 bucks.

Local dealer has always treated me with respect and when challenged, offered competitive prices.
Though dealers have a reputation for being expensive, they can also be accommodating.
They also threw in a set of Fsport key gloves (PT940-30120) at no cost.

My thanks to: Wayne, John, Brian, Mark, and Carl!

My relationship with staff has been a major benefit over the past 14 years.
I would highly recommend establishing strong relationships with your dealer staff.

Wow you got a great deal on the cover. Just did a quick online search and found the same exact engine cover for $800+. I wonder if it was a take off from another RC or IS that you got such a great deal. Regardless good find!

Here is the link for anyone that is interested:

Man that looks sharp, and you stole that. It reminds me of the Ikea ad of "Start the car" as the lady comes running out of the store with multiple shopping bags, because she got all that stuff at a ridiculous price.

I believe they were announced in 2010 and went to market in 2011. However they will fit most 3.5L 2GR-FSE V6 as far back as 2006.
