how much do VQ35 engine covers cost?

Just like the title says....how much do brand new ones cost at the dealership? and how much do used ones cost at a salvage yard etc?

Call a local dealer then a local junkyard...


Or call Dave B. and see what he can get you one for.

What happened to yours? But im guessing maybe around 120ish or you could just get the redline max carbon fiber for around 200 it will match your hood nicely.

Is the CF one the only aftermarket one available? I haven't seen any others. I'm not too crazy on the CF one.

well I accidently ran my engine cover over =(

I usually have my engine cover off...then one day I took it off to do some work under the hood....and I put it on the shelf in my garage....well it fell a few days later during the night....then in the morning, i accidently backed into it =(

i'm not too interested in the CF one....well, if the stock one brand new is too expensive...i might opt for the CF one

my hamburger logo is still okay....but mine is crinkled as well...i heard its common for vq35 maxima hamburger logos to crinkle becuz of the extreme under temp heat....there was a thread awhile back and many members said theirs got messed up too

Hmmm I'm glad I'm not the only one, but mines the only crinkled one I've seen in person, maybe it's time to grind it down and paint it red?

HA-HA!
I took mine off to clean-up the valve covers (oil from filler cap spilled) and neglected to put it back on in a timely manner. After rolling around in my trunk for a month with some heavier items, it got cracked and scraped-up.
I superglued it, and it's acceptably unnoticeable now.

Stupid move on my part though. I'd be curious to know what a new one costs, but I'd likely never buy one.

My Hamburger is crinkled as well.

Ehh...I'd leave it off. Easier access to the coilpacks/spark plugs. Besides, for a 120 dollars, that's halfway to a new stillen lip...

Yea, I wouldn't bother with it either, if it really is $120 that is. Mine is crinkled too, and I also noticed today that the Nissan logo on the steering wheel is slighlty crinkled too.

Thats the Nissan list price not daveb price. So if he gives you 25% off then I gave a hell of a guesstimate.
