Anyone here put a carbon fiber engine cover?

Is it worth it ? And is it hard to put on or not so much?

Will do. Once i source out the rad cover. Might upgrade my current one to a tommy kaira or top speed. Just a tad pricey but they are authentic.

I suggest taking your engine cover off and putting it back on to see how easy it is. Only 5 bolts/nuts to undo. I think you can take it off and put it back on in like 3 minutes, 2 minutes if you use a power tool, but I suggest hand tightening.

I agree with the other posters - you'll be like "meh, this was nothing!" Really. The PITA category is removing your headlights, disassembling them, prepping & painting the housing, installing the TSX clear lens, reassembling, and then reinstalling them. Installing an engine and radiator cover: No sweat. You've got this!
