CF engine cover

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

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...

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?

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....

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.

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.
