This may be a dumb question, but I've searched and haven't found what I was looking for. I have a motordyne 5/16 spacer w/the strut bar spacers on my 2006 z. What are my options for CF engine covers that still allow clearance of my stock strut bar? Does a CF G35 engine cover work? I am looking to try to cover the plenum if possible also, I know the HR CF covers are really nice, regardless of the single intake, does the HR cover fit? Thanks for the help guys

 

Height of Carbon fiber cover is similar to OEM cover.

 

you shouldn't have a problem going to the carbon fiber cover from the de motor. They have them in ebay our you could contact mr.wong the vendor.

I'm curious, Why would you want to put an hr cover on the single intake motor? I could see where people like the hood but not the cover.

 

Your Z just gets sicker and sicker

 

You could also sell your plenum spacer and get the Kinetix SSV which comes with this engine cover

 

what about the price?

 

The reason is because the exterior of my car already has a lot of carbon fiber accents everywhere. I have the carbon fiber battery/brake covers, and a cf intake tube in the engine bay already, and thats pretty much it for appearance. The plenum is just an OEM ugly plenum, and I don't really think polishing it will match anything on my car. At car shows, they judge the engine bay appearance, and I figure if I had an option to cover the OEM plenum with more carbon, it would be the best looking option while still matching what I got goin on.

Heres what my car looks like...













Heres what the CF HR cover looks like






Heres what the CF G35 cover looks like...


And heres the NON HR 350z CF engine cover...



I'm really wanting an alternative to just the small 350z cover that leaves that ugly plenum exposed, and I don't want to dish out the $800 for a SSV manifold (although I do think they look 1000x better). What do you guys suggest?!

 

lol thanks buddy!!!!

 

Holy crap, your car is dope!!! According to the picture the hr cover does fit, and hides the plenum very well.

 

WOW, that thing looks like an photo shoot for a Pep Boys CF advertisement!

 

I am going to have to disagree with you guy. Take the hate somewhere else buddy.

 

Looks awesome. Love the hood and I can see why you want the full cover. Hopefully you find something that will work.

 

One if the sickest red 350zs I've ever seen

 

get a V+ plenum and modify the one you have. . . you could get way more creative than i but you get the idea

Somebody was supposedly copying the Kansai Service HKS version but I think they bailed on making it. I was approached by 3 "companies" who wanted to borrow mine.

 

LOL coming from the TROLL with the FOLEX that couldn't tell the right time on new years. Find a new hobby. A guy with a "Porsche TT" should have better things to do.

 

For everyone else, thanks for the compliments and the input! It looks as if the HR cover will bolt up in the front. Something would have to be done to secure it in the back though, from what it seems. I wish someone could take their HR cover and try to bolt it on a DE motor to see if it could fit!

 

go to a salvage yard, pull one off and play w/it. who knows if you tweek it, make it look nice, you could start a trend and make $$$

 

I have a SSV cover I dont use anymore if you want it and you can wrap it in CF then you only need to get the manifold

 

Davis, I would just buy the CF DE engine cover and then powdercoat your plenum either gloss black or wrinkle black since I agree that the stock plenum looks kind of ugly. The HR engine cover does look nice, but it would suck for you to buy it and find out it doesn't fit.
