Spoolin COP... Undecided

Gonna get one of these ignitions ordered soon. Just wondered what peoples opinions were on whether to get carbon fiber or aluminum for the cover plate. If people have any pics that would help. I know it's all up to me just can't make up my mind lol.

throw up a pic of your engine bay. for me it would be an easy choice since i have a carbon "scheme" going on.

Easy , carbon.

Aluminium is too shiny and will need polishing to keep its luster.

I was also leaning towards the CF and was wondering if the alum would take long to lose its shine factor. Ill put up some pics after we get my new turbo setup in! Appreciate the responses!

The CF looks great. It will complement the engine bay no matter what modifications have been done.

I would get the carbon one just because it isn't shiny. But then again I would still install the stock spark plug cover over top of it.

I have the carbon plate and it looks really good but like everybody else has stated it depends on your color scheme under the hood.

Carbon, and I don't see how people can cover up the beautiful cop system. I don't get it, but to each of their own. I can't put the cover on.
