I have two N* Fieros. One with the cover and one without. The one without could use a cover to hide the " busy Look"
of the engine, but I sure wouldn't hide an engine like yours.[This message has been edited by dratts (edited 05-21-2011).]

Thanks for the suggestions.
I marked out the openings for the carbs here:
However I realized that they would still cover up the intake manifolds which I wanted to keep visible.
So I ended up cutting out the center section and removing the emblem so it could be rotated 90 degrees.
I agree that the extra badging is duplication and it was only on one side anyways so not needed above the valve covers.
Here's my idea to cover the valley only and keep everything above exposed (including the throttle linkage)
Does this look like a suitable compromise?

That looks very nice. Subtle and you can still see the workings of the engine.
I like it, thumbs up!

Yes, subtle and tidy.

That's exactly what I was trying to convey with my poor Paint photo! Looks great!

I picked up some LED lamps to use as reverse lights.
Since the old ones never worked I installed a new backup switch in the transaxle.
I also ran a new +12V (power with ignition on) wire so lights can't be left on.
Here's a picture of them wired up, with key on and shifter in reverse - it works 
Then I was able to finally finish installing the wire loom within the engine bay:

Is anything else hooked up to the Caddy overflow tank?
