Engine cover with RBC swap?

[Flippercon]

So I want the engine cover that goes over the fuel rail but since the rbc swap its of no use. I was looking at some pics of my buddies FG2 and thought about using an 8th gen cover for the ninth. Your thoughts?

It should be doable since you have the RBC intake manifold. Using the pic you posted, you'll need the cover, 2 of the short mounting bolts, 1 rubber grommet, and 1 of the long mounting bolt. I think you can use the nuts that were used on your stock cover.

What you need after is the 2.4L i-VTEC decal. Lol.

Did you see the price difference?? I may see if someone wants to sell theirs locally.

It would also look like a K20 to the untrained eye. LOL

Yeah that's why I haven't bought one yet either. It's ridiculous. I already have the correct vinyl/sticker/whatever it is.

If I get one Im keeping the original 2.0 sticker on it. Just gonna paint it. Do you know how many times I have had my hood popped at a meet and people are thinking its a k20... SMH at least this way they can be assured with the engine cover. Lol

That's only because when people think k-series, they automatically think it's a 2.0L.

This is why I need a J series.
