Carbon Fiber Engine Plug Cover Install?
For anyone with a CF engine cover, how hard was it to install?

Do the screws that set it in place have to be adjusted to a certain torque? (I'm a newb on modding)

No torque specs just throw her on and tighten it down... Probably the simplest "mod" you can do on the Evo.

If I wanted to swap engine covers, would I have to remove some of the wiring that goes over it?

Yes, I have one. It took me 2 minutes to instal, and it looks very clean. I cant imagine puting the stock plug cover back on now

Are you talking about a valve cover or a spark plug wire cover? Here is my RMR spark plug wire cover.

Looks nice Dan, thnx for the pic.

Did you have to detatch the wire that goes over the cover to install it?

Nah, just move it out of the way. Seriously, it is jost losen the stock bolts, take stock cover off, put new cover on, tighten bolts.
