Made a sheet metal coil pack cover

For those of you who hate your engine cover, I have come up with a solution lol. It really did not take me too long to make this one but its pretty rough, so I am sure some people who frequent this forum can do better. I just hated the ugly wiring that came from running without the cover. Also this shields the coils and wires from the heat of the VFF exhaust manifold.

Anyway, let me know what you think. And yes, I know, I ran out of gold heat shield in the middle of wrapping it. I might just take it back off because the raw metal look is growing on me...

Bling bling every time you come around all i hear is bling bling...

I like it but i like it if it were carbon fiber. I think the fuel rail looks cool but i hate the gold and the sheet metal look. Maybe if it were black I'd like it more. How loud is the valvetrain with out the sound damping foam.?

It sounds pretty awesome, deep and loud, like the engine wants to eat more and more

Painting it is also very possible. I think black would look pretty cool, I'll post up pics when I do it.

As for the noise...yeah its pretty loud. The injectors seriously sound like a diesel without the engine chatter, especially with the hood open.
