That's a MEVI cover. It will only work if you have a MEVI.

Switch to a MEVI and you will have a cover.

1. to all the op, i had no idea that was a mevi cover. i just thought it looked cool and always wanted one.
2. it's a jdm motor matt, with shipping and cost of motor they want over 2,000. here's a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/95-99-Nissan-Maxima-3-0L-V6-Twin-Cam-24-Valve-Maxima-Engine-JDM-VQ30-VQ30DE-/161026187503?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item257de8a0ef&vxp=mtr i called the guy and he he gets all jdm motors from japan, all under 65,000 because emissions is very strict.

I have a MEVI and I don't have a cover. It's an option for MEVI'd cars, not a necessity/requirement. An aesthetic option.

And yeah OP, kidding me?

The MEVI cover is somewhat of a rare item now...as the ratio of MEVI's to covers is not 1:1, and they're discontinued from Courtesyparts.com

Most people in the US got only the MEVI, not the entire engine. Some requested the cover, some didn't.

I paid ~460$ for my coverless MEVI back in 2001.
