Shame the engine compartment is so-so looking. Is there anything you can do it make it worth showing? As it stands now, although nicely executed, this the equivalent of putting a clear rear bonnet on my 996. Cool engine, but not much too look at with the bland covers, hoses, and loom

There is a Whole How to paint the cayman engine top for the Clear Engine Cover on the cayman Club site But I assume The OP Just has not done that Yet. The Light adds a little extra on that .I am sure kabe is going to Dail up the Motor some correct?

The led's look cool. I think you definitely need to paint the covers, maybe go with some braided hoses, anodized fittings, etc.. to really make it clear cover worthy.

Im on the list for the first batch of Alan's covers. Alas, I might have to jump ship as the wait is killing me.
