i'm sorry but i think the covers are ugly all they do is trap more heat for the blower. i would get rid of the cover and show off the blower by means of paint/polishing it. the fuel rail on the L67 is ugly too but you always sand down and paint it.

I respectfully disagree with silverbullitt on this one. While polished looks great (especially silverbullitt's underhood), the cover gives our underhoods a more finished sports car look. I'm thinking a comparison in motorcycles, for example, would be a Harley style cruiser (all exposed) vs. a fairing covered sporty crotch rocket. And of course, your a fan of one or the other, but I'm a crotch rocket guy myself

That's a great idea using caliper paint... it sure stands up to heat a heck of a lot better than the paint that was originally on the plenum!!

all i'm saying is the cover trap more heat for the blower, but if you don't care about the performance and are more into the looks then yes the covers are great for covering up the ugly fuel rail on top of the blower.
