Lambobimmer · 11-15-2013, 03:40 PM

Which one do you like the best?

MOTODAVEO · 11-15-2013, 04:11 PM

Wow! That's in your face.

I like the one in the engine bay.

army_men · 11-15-2013, 04:21 PM

I like the top one too. makes an interesting engine bay.

jparnes1 · 11-15-2013, 09:55 PM

Top one. Nice!

Lackey · 11-16-2013, 01:37 AM

Top one. Sweet!!

ManiacGT · 11-16-2013, 02:01 AM

IMHO leave it stock, coloured covers look tacky.

Asbjorn · 11-16-2013, 02:09 AM

Agree with Maniac... and if you absolutely have to, give it a Z-look instead of an M-look.

hiltonfa · 11-18-2013, 01:08 AM

Top one for me

rking117 · 11-18-2013, 12:22 PM

the top one looks like it could have com from the factory that way. The bottom one looks like is was aftermarket.

army_men · 11-18-2013, 03:18 PM

are you making one? or did you source a seller for the top one?

Vector Pilot · 11-18-2013, 04:46 PM

I prefer stock, but if you must go with paint, top.

BMWZ4RIDER · 11-19-2013, 04:37 PM

I like them both. If a choice must be made the one on the engine is my choice.
I like a cleanly dressed engine room and this adds great visual value.
I am going with the CF cover myself.

Ichiro · 11-20-2013, 06:07 PM

Personally, I prefer a stock looking engine bay and don't like any colors in it.

If I was to change anything in there I would prefer a more somber look of polished aluminum/SS and/or carbon fiber.
