I PM'ed ya this but I figured I'd post it up for reference too bro.

This is the Nismo / Evo-R carbon fiber engine cover, the design is slightly different so I think that's why it works. However, if you look closer towards the back of the cover, it is actually raised up ever so slightly and making it very close to the strut bar (which already has spacers to fit over the newly raised plenum (Motordyne 5/16)

If the stock cover fits it, then the aftermarket should too if it is modeled after the stock one.

Not true.

One of the Evo-R's that I wanted to pickup from another member didn't fit my DE with spacer setup. Although, the cover was pretty flat underneath as compared
to the grooves that the OEM cover has which may have lead to the poor fitment.

I ended up painting the OEM engine cover with a friend and I'm digging the results.
