Engine Cover Bling from 42draftdesign- Install pics and text
Very well done, well machined, well packaged, a bit short on the instructions (no pics), but when you think a bit, all the install stuff fits into place.
Result is way cool.
Only thing extra you may need is a pop-rivet gun and a drill, if you don't have these.
Start with the main engine cover and remove them all. Remove the main cover mounts.
Add back the new machined ones
Nice, heavy machined wedge to support the cover.
Screws right to the intake manifold.

Result is spot-on, very nice details. I went with the "dimpled" washers, others may opt for the 'plain' ones.

Drill the right holes next to the main holes in the front cover area above the radiator.

Rivet in the machined "nuts". You will need to test-fit these to find the right placement for the drill holes, but it's easy.

Install hint for the front curved covers above the radiator.
Since the old rivets 'floated' a bit, and the install of the new "nuts" is more solid, screw in *all* the hex-head screws just a bit before tightening them down. This way you assure they all fit well and you can adjust the covers properly before tightening the screws.

Result is really nice bling.
