you downgraded lol 03s have the engine cover all black the way yours looks now, in 04 or 05 they started the 2 tone black and silver which looks much better. You went backwards but to each their own

Done with, dare I say...PLASTI DIP!!! muhahahaha!
Hey JDM, how has the Plastidipped engine cover held up?

I would have PM'd you this but your inbox is full.

Let me know!

There is no reason why it wouldn't hold up. PlastiDip can withstand up to 315 degrees. The engine cover, even the plenum itself (or your exhaust for that matter) don't get that hot.

It will NOT destroy your paint. It peels off cleanly and leaves no residue. Check out some of the stuff I have done with it, people who have seen it in person all have given it compliments.
