Cant Decide Eventuri Carbon or IND Painted Engine Cover

Limegrntaln · 11-29-2022, 10:45 AM

I can't decide. Both look amazing. My car is Dravit, so the painted engine cover, would also be Dravit. I already have the Eventuri Intake, so it would look the exact same. I also have the Ti DownStar bolt kit, already.

I like the painted. I feel if I do the carbon strut brace that the carbon cover will be too much with the eventuri intakes.

Definitely. I'm not sure what strut brace I'm going to do. The CSL would have broken all of that up, nicely, but I sold mine, for lack of fitment.

I feel like dravit will get lost in the darkness of the engine bay but Eventuri cover with dravit lettering 🔥🔥. The engine covers look best with the brighter colors IMHO. Mine for reference

painted adds that extra pop

Agreed! And the Eventuri will nicely match the intake.

T0RM3NT · 11-29-2022, 11:36 AM

At first glance, I thought the CF. However, after looking at it a few more times, I think going with the Dravit cover works best with your Eventuri intakes.

In the end, they both look great and I don't think you can go wrong either way!

Limegrntaln · 11-29-2022, 12:15 PM

Thanks guys, I'm leaning toward the painted. The carbon is almost too much carbon, but still can't decide. I'll probably pull the trigger, today, if I can figure it out.

This is why I didn't get the Eventuri engine cover. It would have been too much CF for my taste.

Man, I don't know.... ibwas thinking carbon for my car but the Dravit really looks nice. I don't think I'm doing a carbon fiber strut brace but do the battery cover and the slam panel. The Eventuri is a little much for my budget and I can't see it until I open hood. I say this now and eventually pull the credit out.🤣

Got it...

Limegrntaln · 11-30-2022, 01:38 PM

Im going to end up ordering both.

Draper · 11-30-2022, 01:45 PM

I'd probably go painted as it would give it a little more pop. Though I guess I'm not a big fan of throwing money at engine bling.

I've owned the car 3 weeks and haven't even opened the hood yet.

I've never really been a fan of under the hood, either, but, get an Eventuri intake, and that changes the game.

M4Tejas · 11-30-2022, 10:34 PM

If ya'll get the iND bling y'all with have alot of money left over for bier.....but the intake is some royalty piece for sure

GregM4 · 12-01-2022, 01:55 AM

I chose the IND painted cover and a few other items instead of the Eventuri. I chose to add some other carbon pieces.

Man, that looks good.

tac3331 · 12-01-2022, 09:39 AM

The painted looks better but limits your resell market.

Agree if you want to post out for sure. I will sell the car as is.
