For ppl with GTSpec FSB Rubbing issue

Hey guys, not sure if its already been posted, but i highly doubt it so here it is...

I know everyone with the GTSpec FSB has the issue where the bar rubs against the hood insulator, so after much research i came across this engine cover which is nice high quality carbon fiber cover which gives a nice clean look AND an indentation to allow for the FSB to sit lower to avoid rubbing.

I should be getting this and the FSB next month(hopefully) and thought maybe others would be interested in it as well. i hope it allows perfect positioning for the GT FSB to sit....

Engine cover with space for the FSB

What do you guys think? anyone already have this??

Looks good.... maybe a little too rounded in the channel?
also... another option may be the 370Z cover when it comes out.

just change the hamburger to Mt.Fuji...

Dude I wonder if the 370 FSB would work it's sweet though it's like a triangle shape isn't that the best?

Absolutely.... that's the way it was on my MZ4 as well.
The problem would be the rear mounting point.
It would have to be a structural member.

Lol go test drive a 370z and take it off to a back road hit the dealer you're with over the head then take the strut bar off and try it on our cars to see it they fit. HAHAHAHA. While i was cleaning my engine bay there is a mounting point where the top of the triangle would fit on our sedans. same place.
