Is there anything aftermarket or any way to get rid of the ugly plastic piece over the valve cover and still protect the coils?

HatedCobalt

nope. im makin something custom for mine....

outtamymind

ya only custom so far. but there is really no need to have that cover other then the fact that it muffles the engine and keeps it running at a slightly higher temperature thats all. me and my bro have been running with ours off for a while now and nothing has happened and i don't see anything happening related to that cover being taken off.

The engine cover's pretty much just there to make the engine bay look pretty. Doesn't serve any useful purpose

yea i had to take mine off due to my strut bar

cobalt_addict

just take it off and polish up your valve cover.. maybe get some billet caps and you will have a rockin engine bay

Exactly what he said

RaineMan

or get your cover powder coated... it ain't that expensive.

Novajoe

wait are you talking about the plastic cover over the entire engine or the plastic piece over the coils? Cuz I'm pretty sure the plastic piece over the coils mounts the ignition module.

Just rip that bitch off and get an intake (not Fujita) to get rid of the plastic piece that attaches to the thottle body

outtamymind

ya i polished my valve cover and now im just waiting to get my intake to get rid of the rest of the intake plastic crap

Sounds like I'm just going to take it off and leave it. I tried painting the cover but it looks like crap. I just wish it had the clean look of the pre 07 2.2. Oh well win some lose some.

But we have more POWER

BigTizzle903

haha true dat. yea dont get a fujita, although it is a sick intake and i love it, im stilling trying to find aa way to remove the plastic piece over the intake manifold

Novajoe

Black07LS

How do we weigh more?

What about keeping heat in the engine for faster warm ups in the winter? I take it off when the snow melts.

thats looks pretty cool. i lost all that **** once i started modding. it got in the way too.

outtamymind

ya i still have mine its just in storage thats all. figure ya never know when it might come in handy. the only thing is it dings up the valve cover when its on.
