Looks alright! I would have just stopped with the engine cover because I think it would look sharp having just yellow cover surrounded by the other covers. Kinda like a centerpiece.

Excellent, thanks a lot. I suggest you make a DIY with pics. There are many people having the MS strut bar and the usual consensus is that the stock engine cover must go. I prefer the cover to stay, I don't need to stare every time I pop the hood at the MS logo 
I know it's there from the way the car turns now 
Thanks again.

I like these. I think I'm going to borrow your idea Catalyst. I've got the two-tone red/black lthr so I'm thinking it would look kinda sweet.
I heard of a member removing the inner portion of the engine cover and putting something clear there instead. Does anyone know who did this? I'd like to do it, but I also want the Mazda emblem and the Renesis phrase on the clear... I'm not sure if those can be removed and reused, but we'll see.
What kind of paint do I need to use and where can I get it? Is it possible to cover that paint w/the touch-up paint so the engine bay matches the exterior?

I think this is the thread, Dazygirl. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ne+cover+lexan
I like Catalyst's. Painting all the pieces is too much, IMO.
