bump anyone?

 

[TheDarkness03]

eh...they look kinda big and outlandish IMO...i think carbon fiber valve or COP covers would look better...

In looking at the Cobra photos I they look weird. They're not symetrical looking, which to me makes them look odd and out of place in the engine compartment.

I used to have them on my car They don't look that big in person. They cleaned up the sides of the blower real well and it looked much cleaner under the hood. Unfortunately, I had to take them off because I had a custom return fuel system installed. At least now I have some nice Fore rails to look at.

I don't care for them my self.

They are ok if you want to clean things up without removing, or relocating the EGR stuff from the side of the blower, but I have to agree with others that they look kind of weird, and asymmetrical.

[Boosted0range]

Why would you want to cover up all that awesome beautifulness that is the DOHC supercharged 4.6?
Carbon fiber is cool and all, but it can be taken too far IMO.

It only covers up all the wiring between he valve covers and the blower. Its not as bad on your whipple, because it moves a lot of it behind the blower. The eaton on the other hand, without an egr delete is a rats next. It looks much cleaner with the cf covers.

Yeah I agree, if the EGR is still in tact it can definitely look cluttered.

I wonder if it fits around the Whipple.:shrug:

 

[PistolWhip]

If you really want to keep all the EGR stuff, just relocate it to behind the firewall. There's a few threads on how to relocate the entire system (including the boost solenoid and the rest of all that crap) to just under the wiper cowl. I've seen it done where aside from the actual EGR valve itself, have looked just like mine with the EGR still functional.
Just my $.02, but I don't like the look of those engine covers. All of the one's I've seen just look too bulky to me. As specially with a pretty polish Whipple under there.

 

[EvilTwins]

I think the cover looks terrible once its installed to be honest...

 

[Boosted0range]

lol....well....EvilTwins, i got mine the other day, and put it on...and Im not so sure i dont agree with you on that...lol it just looks sorta funny. Idk i'll keeep it on for a little while and see if it grows on me...otherwise i'll just resell em i'll post pics soon

 

[Boosted0range]

I'll post some more close ups later this week....

 

[601Mystic04]

Uh I have to agree with evil I don't like it. Why would you wanna cover that anyway?
