Hey I was talking to another guy on here.. and I asked him.. if I took off the engine cover.. would it look .. odd.. or in other words would it look better with it on.. the reason why I ask is.. Cause I want to do my Engine w/ wire loom and with that covering it.. It is hard to put some on. There is wires underneath there isn't there?? please let me know.. Sorry if the Question seems dumb.. But I am blonde.

nissan put the engine cover on there for a reason (protection against water, debris, etc.) ... i wouldnt take it off until someone else does and it duznt cause a problem

MaximaGirl02

so take it off or leave it on?

leave it own. no take it off, get it sand blasted,,,change the color of it, get it chromed,,,or some other color,,i think that would look nicer than wire loom

u take it off and tell me if u experience trouble.. then i'll do it

MaximaGirl02

haha I think you should try it first. Since I am the newbie..

Who would buy it? It only fits the 3.5 liter engine, and the 3.5's already have one

i thought engine covers were just for looks? it makes the bay look much nicer and cleaner. if the engine could be damaged without it why dont all cars have covers?

I think the engine cover WON'T do any harm. Remember the '00-'01 I30's had covers and the maximas didn't. They both have the same engines just that one had the cover (since its Infiniti) and the other one didn't (which is Nissan). So I am sure it won't do any harm.

i say leave it on. Engine bay looks so much cleaner with it on.

The 01 Anniversary Editions had engine covers, and those were the same engines as the rest of the 00-01's. So removing it won't do any harm.

i still think itz there for a reason.. i dont have the tools to remove it yet but once i get my lazy a$$ to sears and remove the cover i'll see if there is any possibility of damage from removal

Greg's2kGLE

I don't see what the reason woudl be though??? I think all you need is a screw driver or a rachet set, not sure though. You can always call up Nissan or ask your dealer if there is any harm in removing it.

I'm interested in maybe painting mine (greg i was thinking red) what about that make it look nice it would match my tubing and strut bottoms

We aren't talking about the spark park cover that says NISSAN 3000 V6, we are talking about the 2k2 engine cover.

You can see part of it in this picture.

so with the wire looms?? Will it still look good// w/ that cover in the middle? I still want my Wire looms..

Greg's2kGLE

There won't be as many wires to put the looms on with the engine cover on. It will still look good with looms around it. Then you can paint the engine color the same color as the looms

MaximaGirl02

cute.. I am going to order my looms
