engine color cover.

Post by wicked1981 »

Does anyone know if this is an after market cover or is this just painted?

Painted my friend.AFAIK, Injen is the only one to make aftermarket heat shields for the Vibe. Here's what TritonGT's looks like.

It's plastikote anodizit. Worst crap in the world. Don't buy it. Overpriced, and underperforming.

A couple weeks ago on ebay I saw a red cover for the vibe. For all I know someone could have just taken a cover and painted it, but it looked very nice. I've looked for it again and I haven't seen it ><
