Mine before and after with side covers and engine cover.
I popped the hood the other day after a 30mins drive in the city, the radioactive heat is intense. I won't put anything to cover that engine.I don't know how hot the inside of the engine compartment gets in the case of the Civics with the 2.0 NA engine but for the 1.5 Turbo one the heat under there is intense, even in fairly easy traffic conditions. It's the hottest i've yet to see and seems to be fairly well closed all around, with no obvious gaps the heat can escape, air panels and rubber seals all around.
Heat that is being produced in large amounts by the turbo and the catalytic converter, both sitting in front of the engine, close by.
I had the same idea of buying a beautiful, red engine cover but when i saw how hot it gets during summer after a 20 miles easy drive in 90 degrees F (32 C) i gave up the idea.
How did you order this? I don't see any English option? How has it held up?Hey all,
