Question Coupe Carbon Fiber Engine Cover.

Are these the exact same? (minus the sticker)

Also, any other shops that sell these? (UT only has the flat one as far as I know)

Fitment is the same for all VQ.
You can also use the Z cover which helps the plenum to run cooler.

You only had to cut yours because you're running the Crawford upper plenum. The OEM 350Z engine cover will fit on the G35 even with a 5/16" plenum spacer.

Well, I'm doing it for looks, so I'd prefer the full cover.

I looked around and it seems like ebay is the only play selling these....weird...

dont order it dude... i got the same one from the same person a while back and its all cracked cuz of heat. Also if you tighten your screws too tight it'll crack all over... i'd advice on getting a better one if ur gonna spend the money, one from a name brand company that uses better carbon fiber.

I started to put mine on last week but read several post that stated the covers trap heat. That seems to make sense.
Isn't it better to run without them?

I feel any gain from having no cover is negligable, so I'd rather have the looks
