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...

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.
