I saw a carbon fiber engine cover for my 5.5 on ebay about a month ago and can't find them now. Anybody know where to locate one of these? Thanks

 

sorry, i dont know where to find one, but doesn't your stock engine cover pretty much match your sterling mist?? i think it looks better 'body color' that carbon fiber...just my .02

 

Color is close but it's kinda ragged, I'm planning on adding cf in a couple places. interior mainly, guage bezel, E brake handle, and strut bar. So I figured the cf engine cover would look good. I'd also be interested in a Altima engine cover(arn't they black)

 

yes, both the altima and the 6th gen maxima's engine covers are black....
i guess if you had carbon fiber in other places, it would look ok...i was just thinking if it was just the engine cover, it would appear out of place
good luck with looking for it though...i'm sure it'll show up on ebay sooner or later, just keep on checking...

 

i have one on my car, you can check out my cardomain page for pics. i bought mine off of PhxBlue when he was parting out his car. i believe these are out of production now though.

 

I think CustomMaxima was selling them.. not sure if they were CF.

 

He probably wants the cf engine cover , because it is light weight, and it will help his maxima go faster. I think it adds about an extra 10 ponies, doesn't it?

 

Hey speaking of engine covers, anyone know where i can buy the engine cover for a 2000 maxima? just regular stock, i think the AE came with it? the one pictured a few posts up in lontar1's signature?

 

call Dave B and he can get it for you, but it is like $100.

 

who is Dave B??? me and my 8 posts i dont know much of anyone around here yet :O

 

and takes off about 30lbs.... I think cf is when it is inside the car.....but that is just my .02 good luck finding one....

 

explain why CF ricey?

 

Inside the car? bc it doesn't do anything....and it looks stupid inside a car...I like it on the outside (hood, front lip etc.)

 

just because a mod looks "stupid" it's ricey?

 

Its in the FAQs... look there...

 

I think it is ricey to put it inside you car...I think it looks tacky and takes away, overal from your car it is just a piece of tape most of the time anyway its not even real...I think it looks stupid....this is my opinion....so I don't understand why you are giving me crap....

 

hey if you find one tell me where you did... my Nissan emblem is starting to crack, i think it would look cool with my black car

 

I wish I had my (Real) Carbon Fiber Dash Kit right now, and you can tell me how ricey it looks. My car is black with black leather interior. Carbon fiber would flow the best with it.

I guess you don't like brushed aluminum trims either?

All it is, is an enhanced appearence interior mod, nothing more - nothing less.

 

Don't remember asking any of you how it looks!

 

lol but most insist on saying what they think anyways, but it always ends up to be up to the person that is buying it. i hope you checked your PMs.

 

Thank you very mutch Maxima112, I'm glad somebody realizes that everybody has different styles. I don't no how many cars I would love to talk **** about, but I feel that it is better to compliment cars you like and keep you're mouth shut if not. everybody has different opinions on what looks good.
