What do you guys think about this?

Spinny02 · 09-16-2015, 06:50 PM

I have it to match my Dinan intakes. I don't ever look under there any more but it does look nice.

Probably want to add some LED effects lighting to really make it pop.

You can also pick up some M5 logo ground effects door lights as well there.

I pulled the trigger and bought one too. I got it direct from AFE http://afepower.com/shop/details_new...ly&brandID=129 The one gblansten linked to is the older glossy version. The new ones now are all matt carbon. The price is really good for a large piece of carbon like that.

You wont be able to see afe since it will be in the back. Lol.

These are very popular engine covers, I have requests on them almost evry week.

They look great and fit perfect.

No it does not and its gray now, I covered mine with black sharpie.

I had the engine cover and stock air boxes hydro dipped in true carbon look. I am more than satisfied. What you guys think?

lsturbointeg · 09-20-2015, 08:46 PM

Looks great!

I have to admit I do quite like it

but unless you are going to lots of 'Max Power' events where everyone plots up and sits with their hoods up knocking one out and admiring the mods and muscle they have, I don't see the point?

plus i'd like to see some symmetry with the two raised humps on the cover aligning with the two silver pipes going up the engine...
