ENGEN COVER MOD DIY

[jackgti1]

Just finished mine...

Now I just need a new intake, and a noise pipe delete to clean up the bay a bit more (and a good wash won't hurt either!!!!).

Thanks, I'm aroused.

Nice here is how mine look

Looks Great!
Thinking of doing this to mine.If you don't mind, I'm curious as to what paint you used and if you had any peeling/problems with the paint at all. I heard RustOleum was good but need some second opinions first before I jump into anything.

Updated.

Thanks! Project for this weekend!

Little update over the weekend. Di-Noc on battery cover. Worked hard to preserve the detail (lines and battery symbol).

Looks awesome. Now get rid of the noise pipe and your engine bay will look even cleaner!

Or paint it red. It's too much red on the right side (actually it's the left side). :laugh: Just kidding. It looks really good.

Yep, noise pipe delete is up next. Thinking about some red hoses. Maybe Hose Candy or if I can find something cheaper?

Thanks for the comments.

I also like the black coolant lid I saw on Daves (JDM LOL)page.http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21231

Did you use Plasti-Dip on the coolant lid and the washer fluid lid? If so, any worries about the fluids dissolving the Plasti-Dip and getting into pumps?

No... I used engine enamel spray paint. And I didn't paint the backsides of them, I taped them off before I painted so they are still blue... so there is no worry about that.

Not that it really matters.... Since it works the same both ways (and FITS the same). But, the stupid thing came from APR with the APR logo on that side.
