The later is pretty lame, not to mention lacking the beautiful 3-point strut tower brace!

 

WOW, look at all that plastic!!!!

 

yeah, i like all the chrome

 

They added the rest of the parts and hooked everything up so the car would function?

I don't know.

I will say I don't like these garbage plastic engine covers all new cars seem to have.

 

I'm sorry guys but my mom drive a sante fe and its dressed nicer than this ( less plastic to)

 

which leads me to a funny story... not to get far off topic but one time we open the hood and apparently a mouse got cooked on the plastic cover, so it is good for one thing, an oven :P

 

nevermind then i guess... i'll just cancel my order right now....

 

um, yeah, they just put everything it needs in it... the concept didn't exactly have a whole lot in it. BUT, I do wish they woulda left the chrome in it instead of plastic...

 

All the new cars are lacking in the engine bay dept IMO.

Many GTO owners have replaced or painted the fuel rail covers for ie to dress it up a bit.
The Camaro engine bay looks even less attractive as stock. I am sure there will be after market things to do but when a car cost 32000, there won't be much left over.

 

Hey, its a prodcution car now, every penny counts and I'd rather they take pennies out of underhood look than out of HP. I personally don't care what the engine looks like: always take the fuel rail covers and etc off anyway -- they are only deadweight and they get in the way of seeing the first signs of leaks, loose bolts etc. However, if you car, there are aftermarket parts of dress it up.
