humm, not sure if I like it yet or not. Seems to be to small IMO. Probably would grow on me though.

It comes with screws and washers to attach it with the stock bolt locations (just like the oem one), but no rinky-dink plastic screws like stock.

I thought you were going to put it over the existing cover? Doesn't fit the contours of the stock cover; you have to use it as a replacement. Thanks for asking that, though, I forgot to mention it above.

I am thinking that maybe now that they droped the price to $180, the extra $80 is worth spending. But not at the previous prices.

Flimsy? No. It is thin, but it's pretty solid. It doesn't bend or anything, if that's what you're asking.

Looks awesome, plastic looks crappy and cheap, this is the sorta thing that should come stock on any car that you're spending this much money on.

Normally I don't like any engine covers, including stock ones. It makes the engine look like Playmobil. But this TRD engine cover is really nice. Got to have that

Looks pretty good but the icing on the cake would be to get rid of your fuel rail and put in the stafford fuel rail.

Rob he's right Evan, the Stafford rail does look sweet compared to stock - nice and polished. I am thinking about getting it to go with my polished intake and Hypermotive front strut bar. I think it will bring out the Carbon Fiber nicely

I think it will bring out the Carbon Fiber nicely I can't deny it looks much better than stock, but I'm not looking to modify any performance components as long as I'm under warranty  However, I'd like to see your engine bay once you get all that Carbon Fiber installed

looks great even. btw, how did it look with nothing covering the engine? Horrible  Losing the plastic over the intake manifold and having the valve cover powdercoated or chromed would make it look nice. Adding the Injen spark plug cover thing and some red powdercoat would make it look awesome, and a lot, lot different than the normal VVTL-i plastic cover.

looks very good...big improvement over stock. agreed with earlier posts, not as good as IPT, but still, a big improvement. maybe sometime TRD will step up and make replacements for all the engine plastics, to compete more with IPT...that'd be nice
