We have seen the engine cover already . And it's ugly as f.

Yeah, how do you dress that up?

I actually like the new design now except the spoiler. Would look way better if it didn't have those connectors in the middle. Don't really care about the engine bay because how often are you even going to open it up?

Why is the cover so wide?

Cover makes you think its a transverse engine. Aside from sound deadening it provides for di injector ticking its hideous.

Interesting look at the gauges, thanks for sharing. I wonder if the 4k "limiter" is because the engine is cold or because the car is still on it's break-in period?

Engine cover still doesn't look good, but if it gets rid of the DI tick it'll be worth it. Those of us that leave our motors stock probably don't pop the hood at car shows anyway so "out of sight, out of mind".

Still no OEM hood struts.....

Although I have defended other aspects of the '18, that engine cover is ugly. I wonder why. Maybe additional sound insulation? Is DI known to be noisy?

Engine bay, especially the cover looks like shit.

i'm assuming that is the oil filler cap we see on the cover? does that mean there is a filler neck of some sort to the head?

it's already such a bitch for me to get to the oil dipstick with what i have now... how am i going to find it now with that thing on top?

Engine covers like that seem to be an industry standard nowadays, unfortunately. I agree that it probably has to do with the direct injection since it covers the heads completely now. Maybe someone will come up with a cool paint/hydrodip design or trim it to look like the 11-16 covers.

Think of it has a canvas. Gives us gear heads new areas to express our inner self ;)

Seriously - I prefer my 2015 dash and engine bay.

If that is the stock ride height it looks lower than the 17s
