If you're looking to add some bling to your engine bay, put this one on your "must have" list. I paired this cover with an offy side cover, finned aluminum coil cover and a finned aluminum breather. I'm not embarassed to pop my hood anymore! You should be embarassed if you don't add it to your engine!

Love this! Great way to add some sparkle
