  • CF engine cover?

    This looks like a good deal: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1850427

    Following up on my comments about sprucing up my engine bay for shows, what do y'all think?

      I emailed him to see if the free shipping also applies to Canada. If so, I'm going to pick one up. Woot!

            Just oredered it. Shipping was an extra $30 to Canuckland but it's still over $100 cheaper than the last joint I saw selling this on the vortex. Does anyone have suggestions for other cosmetic engine bay mods? Like billet oil filler caps, pretty wires, and all that crap? It's all for the team and points at future shows!

            I'm sure I'll regret this in the morning... bills shmills.

              you can add a useless strut bar.. polish your manifold like mine.. add some neuspeed or forge caps (like me).. and buy some of that fancy vacuum hose that brent has if you like

                I'm going to check out the ABD racing and Neuspeed site for those billet caps. Any suggestions on where else to find them for a good price? Wonder if I can find them in Canada so I can stop getting reamed on shipping/customs...

                  Well I canceled my order. I found out it didn't include the lower portion in front of the manifold and I don't want half CF/half plastic. I'll spend the coin on some fancy billet instead. I found a bunch of caps on Neuspeed's site but the price really adds up and they all have ugly Neuspeed logos on them.

                    You could just take the front part off.

                      Yeah I would still go for it and take the othe part off. I think the Forge caps are nicer than Neuspeeds.

                          50/each doesn't seem bad. The Neuspeed ones are like 60-70 US each! I'll stick with the stock engine cover for now, maybe just see if I can find some killer cleanser that will cut through the oil overflow.
