I find that if you spray a little WD-40 around the plastic pins in the back of the engine shroud (or any plastic pins for that matter), and use a tack puller to lift under them, you can usually remove them without breaking them. A better solution for this situation is to replace the pins with 6mm hex bolts, as the back two holes are threaded the same as the front. That way the cover can be removed in the future much easier.

Thanks for the tip. Does anyone know where to purchase new covers in various colors?

the cover you paint your self using a certan heat resitant paint.

you can purchase CF covers!!! But they are pricey... like 160-ish or so for a trd one

go to your local autozone, they will have heat resistant paint in ay color you can think of for like 5 bux a can

what is a "tack puller?

meh just run the engine for a while after you spray some wd-40 on just enough too heat the block up a little they should come right out

A tack puller looks like a small screwdriver with a "V" cut in the center. It's used to pull out thumb tacks. You can buy them at just about any hardware store

ooo, ok. thanks. that'll help a lot
