Wellllllllllll, here is what I was thinking, lmk what you guys think:
This is the KS one
I would cut where the red line is, and I would fill in where the red circles are. I dont like what they did with the UIM with the cutout, I want something more along the lines of the PanSpeed one posted earlier. If I can get my hands on a PanSpeed one I would just replicate that, if not I can get a KS one, do my modifications and then reproduce that. Here is what I am talking about:

personally i think they look cheap and hold in more heat. i just like seeing the guts of what makes our cars go, and u can really see how much effort someone has put into their car rather then just covering it up. might as well leave the hood closed.
HOWEVER
If someone were to make a cabon fiber cover that wrapped around the engine, separating the engine bay heat from the ABS and master cylinder. I would have to consider buying in!
much like this one but full enclosed.
