am i the only one that is tired of the plastic engine covers? what is their perpuse? have we lost the skill of making a good looking engine or the quality of work has gone so bad that we need to spend money on extra bits to cover it up?
i have spent some time tonight looking over a few korean "maybes" for the family line of our Js, there are plenty in line up.... but all the motors are covered by the damn ugly ass (to me anyway, nothing hotter then clean manifold and the clear view of the runners) covers?
is it really that bad that even the thermal flows of the motor are sacrificed for the looks (and the extra cash and time to take off/put on of these covers)?
is there something wrong with me doctor if i find this:
