Cleaned Up The Burger on the Engine Cover
Was tired of looking at that warped chrome grossness, so I cleaned it up a bit. Eventually, the majority of my bay will be blacked out, so I figure this is a good start. Thinking about doing the "V6" and "3.5" the same color.

yeah I need to do something with mine too it looks like doo doo. I would like to do away with the whole cover I like the raw engine look. I dont like the way that vacum canister thingy looks though and would like to get rid of it.

Actually just did that 15 mins ago! I have the NWP block plate, so there is no need for it or it's sensor. No CEL when censor is unplugged either. Here's what it looks like.

where did you get your block off plate and how much. Now did you just remove the vias and canister and block it off or did you have the work done inside your intake manifold too.

At the time, I got it for $60 + shipping. The VIAS, canister, canister sensor and all hoses related to those objects are off. There is no work done inside my manifold (I'm assuming you're referring to the SSIM). No need to do that w/ the block plate, dyno's have proven it's actually worse off.
The block plate was a very easy install, just make sure to keep your stock gasket from your VIAS.

I got the answer for you on that. VIAS removal and block-off plate.

With the V6 and 3.5, it looks real nice and like it came from the factory like that.
Call me a noob, but what do you mean by the 'warped chrome' though? Mine doesnt look so bad, but do you mean when the plastic chrome is flaking off and has the weird darker spots on it? That is happening on my altima grill (also has the cheap plastic chrome finish).

Here are some dyno's to show the differences between stock IM, SSIM and BP

Thanks all for the compliments.

The chrome came off by x-acto knifing and peeling. Took some patience too. And then, I just lifted it off with a flat head. Had to re-adhesive it to put it back on and it more than likely will not be coming off again.
