Nice , I have the same one . Fyi If you want it to look good I would only put it on for car shows / meets . I had mine on only for 5 months and it looks like shit now ! Its all hazey from the heat ef'n up the gelcoat/resin . It can be fixed with a good wetsand/buffing , just be warned . Your car is comming along nicely.

I was also wondering the same thing every time when I open the hood to adjust the coil-over, I just felt super hot around the engine area(sure hotter than the stock cover), just like the engine cover trap all the heat under it...

I'll try to put it on a month to see what will happen
