Engine Cover

I was going through the garage today looking for somthing to make for the Ralliart, i cam across an old engine cover that i had lying around, i started to trim here and cut there, i did a test fit just to give me an idea what it might look like, but what i would do is make it one piece and wrap the whole thing in Carbon Fiber to give it a nicer look to it. I'm just curious to see your opinions............






Keep in mind this is only a test fit, i'm not even sure i'm gonna use this, it's just i don't like seeing the ugly headers.

If you don't have filled mounts, I think the enginre might move too much.

Perhaps just make something to cover the valve cover?

hay all just a thought but might help with heat in the engine comparment. keeping your cold air intake cooler. just a thought and carbon would look sick i think with the RRM carbon in the rear or one peice like you said

I think it is a good idea... my girlfriend just got a 06 Cobalt and it has a cover over the whole engine and it looks really cool...
