I think it looks great!, just remove the neck extension!
Now if you can get the rest of the white under the hood as clean looking as that

Looks good....

As for the oil fill (neck extension), just spray it white and find yourself a nice GUNMETAL OIL CAP here!!!

Now clean that engine bay!! :grin:

Very nice!!! Hopefully it can stand up against all of the dirt/dust that comes in through your engine bay.

IDK, maybe it's just me,...
Maybe it's the fact I have an SC to show off...
Don't get me wrong, it looks incredible!

I just like my engine cover, hanging in my garage...

Looks good! I noticed you have the engine cover front mounting bracket in front of the engine cover, that bracket is used for the covers front inside peg...

Those are nice...if you start by changing the cap then you have to follow with the rest of the engine bay components :razz:

This one is nice...not sure about fit though...
