Default NRG CF engine cover

Hi all, just wonder if anyone have a pic of the underside of a NRG engine cover, I think I got scammed and got a regular covered with CF. Any pic's or markings or anything they should have would help.

Thanks for any help

Micael

what do you mean by regular covered with CF? 98% of so called CF parts are just one layer of CF the rest is usually fiberglass.

so in other words you are buying fiberglass wrapped in CF...true CF parts would cost way more...

No it is more like the regular engine cover, that someone put some CF on, just regular plastic in the back, and I can see the place where the Nissan emblem normally is.

Well that was a really intelligent answer, so as long as it looks good everything is ok, but no it is far from perfect.
Anyone that can describe the back of their cover ??

here is an idea: instead of us trying to guess if your cover is good or not, why don't you post pictures of yours and we can then decide.

If the size is of a normal cover most likely it's not a NRG engine cover. The NRG Engine covers

03-06 are Half size
HR 07+ are 2 pieces.

Both pieces are black on the inside. The inside isn't smooth. It looks like Black painted fiberglass.

The underside of your fake NGR CF engine cover laughs at you... sorry.
