this should be the only "cover" you upgrade...

Those covers always end up looking like a transformer...

Negative. Strictly polish on a turd....

I rarely lift my engine cover over my 496 in order to avoid ..... Ridicule :point

I like the Carbon fiber look the best!!!
But would rather put that money in gas or Stereo!! It's not that high performance of a motor, so tricking it out seems funny to me!! My hatch stays down almost always. If I had speakers in there and had to have it open then maybe I would dress it up a little more!!!!

how warm does it get under the hatch? i'd think more effort would be put into plumbing some type of intake system to get some colder air than sucking out of a hot engine hatch. i know not everyone wants a scoop.

Thanks but you won't when you hear the price. They retail for $500:eek: but I was lucky enough to find one at CP Performance that had been sitting there awhile so they let me have it for $200. Thanks again Jim at CP Performance.

I don't know how much the ones from Ultra cost but I think they look better.:thumbsup

The one I got from Ultra was $300, but I got it after someone paid full price and returned it when he upgraded from 496 to a 525

I wonder if JW could paint one to look like the top of a 525 for me?;)
