Title: Different engine cover
Post by: Jared on August 15, 2024, 20:29
Hi guys, I thought I seen a pic on here of someone's engine bay and they had a different plastic or maybe carbon fibre engine cover but I can't really find anything for the 1zz.
Anybody using something to jazz up the engine bay.

From a dusty memory, I think @Carolyn done a reverse cover.

Painted silver then sanded the paint off leaving the text in black. Or something like that.

Like that.

Strange how the brain works. I can recall random stuff like that, but could not tell what I had for dinner Tuesday.
