MS engine cover

has anyone seen this MS engine cover before? I saw it on corksport.com. Does anyone know of any vendors who sell this and if so, how much?

Also looks like it bolts on, rather than snapping in place.

Look in the vendor section. One of the companies is having a pre-buy of a c/f cover.

I personally don't like it. I think the factory cover has much more class to it. That is just kind of flat with no logo.

Who cares what it is made out of? Is anyone actually serious about it being "lightweight"? The stock cover isn't exactly heavy. I just don't think a pound or so in weight savings is going to help anyone if it is even any lighter.

yes, I have seen the IPT pre-buy, but this one is the MS one that I am looking for. I would much rather a MS engine cover.

you can get it at japanparts.com, jtimports, canzoomer, corksport, etc. it's $500-600 USD. I don't know if it will fit w/ the stock engine cover or not.

I just called up corksport today and they said that the MS engine cover shown comes with the 4 point strut tower brace. Unfortunately, they won't be getting the part in for 2 months or so.
