that looks pretty good except i wish it didnt have that "kinetix" logo on there....with the manifold having the "kinetix" and the cover having the "kinetix" i think its too much free advertisment for that company

The engine cover is not available yet, and will most likely be ready in about 4-6 weeks.

We have not finalized pricing yet.

Most likely the engine cover will come with the polished oil fill cap ***.

We are looking for feedback on the look, etc.

is it possible to skip the polishing and save some $$? i'm less about the bling and would probably paint or powdercoat it black anyway....

I didn't see this anywhere posted, but will this have to eliminate the use of a strut bar?

I would assume you would have to modify the front of it like you do the OEM one.

Robert, do you guys have any plans on making a carbon fibre cover. If you did, I might be interested in it. I know costs would be more but I think CF just looks better. Are there any other people who would prefer a CF one??

I do too, but I might be inclined to buy one if it was made of CF!

Ok you asked for my opinion I think the two pseudo vents are a little cheesey, reminds me of a honda body kit. Just my opinion, keep up the good work!
