I like the looks of the engine without it on - so mine is on the wall of the garage.

i would do the same but i have those vents in my hood and that cover helps to keep alot of water and crap off the actual engine...i might be putting the stock hood back on though.

I saw the cover back on the MS RX8 at the NAIAS. I looked closely because I did not think it could be done. I was right. They modified the opening. Not a bad job, but still not perfect. Good chance it was a dremel.
