I just wanted to know how many of you took you Engine Cover off? I like the look of the engine without it, I want to know is it bad if you drive it without it? Will it cause problems? and please post some pics if you guys do not have it on I want to see some engine bay pics.

Thank you.

 

i couldnt see why it would i believe its just to keep your engine from getting all dirty and cruddy just keep it clean and it should be fine.... there are tons of cars of all sorts that dont come with engine covers

 

it's been done hundreds of x's. No, no issues. Just go into picture share and you will see tons of pics.

 

You've already said, "I like the look of the engine without it!" So remove it, you won't have any issues it serves no real purpose. After it's gone you might notice your engine compartment would look way cool with one of Sean's (SXEXCX) polished plenums, just an idea!

puely aesthetic! a lot of new cars come with plastic covers for everything but you really dont need them

here you go bro the thread i think you mite like to look tru

 

I kept mine on until I got all my polished parts. I don't like the way a non-polished bay looks like without the cover lol.

 

What can I use to clean the area???? I'm going to pep boys today but I thought I should ask you guys before I go.

 

any APC spray should clean it up nicely...I just used soap n water and then put a little Mothers back to black on it to shine it up

 

the only bad part is it leaves the ugly wiring harness exposed. theres lots of smaller covers that will cover that and will leave the manifold showing. you should do that and get the manifold polished

 

I have a carbon fiber engine cover.
