M pPrformance engine cover

jpacc · 03-18-2017, 11:53 AM

Hi guys. I just got this - its a must!

Here the comparison:

nyc f82 · 03-18-2017, 11:58 AM

Looks good, how much did it run you? I personally prefer to spend money on parts that are noticeable then things under the hood that no one sees.

AhsanU · 03-18-2017, 12:03 PM

Can you please provide a before and after dyno chart? Gains look promising.

In all seriousness, this is not a must have IMO. If your car spends a good duration of its life at car meets with its bonnet up then you may have a point, but to most people - the money can be spent on genuinely worthwhile mods like a set of midpipes, a tune, etc.

If it makes you happy then that's all that matters, but I think the general consensus here will be that it's something you do when you literally have nothing else to spend money on.

My bonnets been open twice in 3 months,

Looks good but utterly pointless for me personally.

same here, it looks amazing!! would I ever consider buying it? heck no. I've only opened the hood once to see what the engine looks like and that's about it.

But hey, whatever makes the OP happy. Definitely not a "must have" though

How many HP does this add?

F80Moe · 03-18-2017, 12:30 PM

Looks beautiful

Understand getting it if shows/meets are frequent

Well first thing I noticed was how dirty and dusty your engine bay is and then your cover.

jzmundy · 03-18-2017, 01:07 PM

Cover is $1132 from IND. Nice looking, but not worth that, IMO.

and here I thought I was the only one. Op, happy you like it but for me its not a must have. If I got it free I would sell it. If I couldn't, I would give it away. To each his own I guess. So far I like the stock engine look. Enjoy

ctgeorge · 03-18-2017, 01:38 PM

Not only is it absurdly expensive, those side stripes make it look pretty tacky. It's not nearly as tacky as some of BMW's so called "Performance" parts. (Rear Wing that belongs on a Civic, Steering wheel with Christmas Lights, Side Blades etc)

But at the end of the day, my opinion means nothing as long as you like it.

Personal taste is funny. This appeals to me much more than OPs cover

I like it but I'd rather spend the money on the CF seat back shells... but I'm not going to do that either. Too expensive!
