it is from Racing Solutions. for the price, i am very happy with it. didn't want to spend the money on the TRD one ... but this one came in just over 100$ ... and fits great! ... hah

now i need to find a fuse cover panel in CF, a radiator top cover peice in CF, front grill ... geeze the list could go on ... lol

that engine looks hot! I like it!

Let us know how the engine cover looks after 2000 miles - cause racing solution doesn't have a good reputation for the quality of their CF. Still looks good though!

I had one from racingsolution, a friend had one also, but his discolored....
they said it was because he didn't have any foam under his, like the oem cover did, so it got hot........I only had mine on for shows....like you said, supprising in the looks category considering the price......

hmm well the heat is transferred through the bolt locations for one spot ...

had thought about transferring the padding over to this one, may go ahead and pick up some at the parts house and put it on the bottom to be on the safe side ...

Carbon Fiber products are sensitive to extreme heat and extreme cold.. Just
do your best to avoid both and the product will last a long time .. The
manufaucture will offer a warranty within the first 90 days because if it's
a defective product, it will show within 90 days ..

i am fixing to pull it off and sell it ... above is the response i got when inquiring about it more ... which leads me to beleive this ...

"we know it will discolor, but it normally doesn't happen till after 90 days, so we will setup a policy that covers us and makes it the buyers fault" ...

is a good show peice, hasn't discolored on me yet, but i am not taking the chance ...
