tell me what u guys think on my new fun stuff..

Yo Pootey that looks great...did you also get the actually engine CF cover, I was thinking of getting the neuspeed cover for mine, but I wasn't sure if it was worth it? what do you think...Another thing, how does your dealership feel about your intake ( and I imagine you have an exhaust to go with it)...is your warranty voided
All in all though, I like it, good job!!
I wish I had that

It looks really good. But is there a Carbon fiber engine cover that will work with an aftermarket intake?

 

[mattabaziou]

yea there is, its made by neuspeed, and it looks really nice when installed, especially with that intake ( i am pretty sure that particular intake is made by neuspeed as well)
Here is a link to the website for the carbon cover:

Damn thats nice. but $330? thats alot of cash to spend on something that people may not ever see.

 

[pootey]

Dont worry i didn't spend that much money on it. i didn't get it for retail. I'm not going to get the cf engine cover, I love cf but i just dont like the engine covers for the mkv. I think it looks better without it.

 

[KGDeAng]

why would you need carbon fiber engine covers, I could see body parts, but engine covers.........???

 

[GTI MKV]

you get those from 20 squared? they have a pretty nice deal for those parts. easy install im asuming...

 

[blackgti06]

That looks very nice for carbon fiber. I like carbon fiber but not to much. That is just right

 

[pootey]

i got it from http://dynamicmotorworks.com . Everyone keeps telling me to get the carbon engine cover, but i dont like the way it looks. I'd rather wait and get a carbon hood after the winter.

Yeah, the carbon fiber engine cover doesn't look that nice. If I were to get an intake like that, I'd do this (which I saw another guy do on a different forum):

He modified the stock one, making room for the new intake , then he painted the cover black, with 2 red vertical stripes, like the grille looks. It looked NICE 8)

 

[GTI MKV]

i saw a plain one today... like totally flat with just the oil cap cut out. i was thinking of getting it and spray painting it with some VW stuff but am not sure if spray paint will withstand the engine heat... last thing i want it paint all over the engine.

 

[GranTurismoInjection]

Scout out the spray paint you want, it should tell you on the back how hot you can get it before melting, or something like that, then check the manual for the engine temp maybe?

 

[GTI MKV]

sounds like a good idea. ill check it out.

 

[strangs_fast]

there is also special spray paints for painting engine parts so they should work on the plastic aswell
