CF Engine Cover Rubbing Air Inlet Duct

My new 350Z carbon fiber engine cover is rubbing the front air duct that funnels air to the intake - what should I do? Does anyone else with this engine cover have the same problem?

Also - (off topic) Does anyone know how to remove super glue? It was the only thing I could find to attach my Infiniti logo off of my old engine cover to the new one and it left a residue in a few places - I just don't want to mess it up worse using something I shouldn't to remove it...

Re: CF Engine Cover Rubbing Air Inlet Duct

I have that same setup... Mine only really rubs in one small area.. I used a small piece of thin foam tape.. worked great and barely noticeable. As far as the super glue removal... humm can't help you there..maybe try Goof Off..

Re: CF Engine Cover Rubbing Air Inlet Duct

Yeh, Goo-B-Gone or something similar might work. You know who will know for sure? The Superglue manufacturer's help/questions/hotline. Just be sure to tell them what it's on and if it's clear-coated so they can suggest something that might not damage your cf engine cover.

On another note: If you find something that removes the superglue really well, you might thing about stripping that emblem off and re-attaching it with some of the double-sided 3M body tape that's used to attach body/aero pieces. That Superglue is known to get brittle when it gets hot. Don't want that emblem falling off while you're driving.
