    How does your regular engine look more gay without a stupid piece of plastic on there that serves no purpose?
    You got it backwards man

    Cause it looks like ass underneath my engine cover.

    I'd only do it if I had a blower worth showing off...andd once I had a rat in my car and he wont chew all the important stuff up that's under the cover.

    I'm not backwards I just don't really care...especially for my daily driver. I don't care what it looks like under the hood. I keep it clean and make sure everything works...but that's my only desire. I'd rather spend $500 on making it faster than spend $500 getting everything polished.

    K?

    You realize the cover keeps heat in which contributes to the UIM failing?

    Its mostly the EGR stove pot but taking off your engine cover would help.
