Seibon Carbon Fiber Engine Cover for Acura NSX 1992-2006

Seibon OEM-Style Carbon Fiber Engine Cover for 92-06 Acura NSX

On an NSX, the engine is part of the show. It sits right behind your head, and people look at it every time the car's parked. After 20-plus years, though, the factory engine cover usually looks tired. Faded paint, chips, and a dull finish don't match how good the rest of a well-kept NSX looks. Seibon's carbon fiber engine cover keeps the factory shape and replaces the old finish with gloss carbon.

It's mainly a cosmetic upgrade, so buy it for that. The cover's lighter than the factory panel, but the difference in weight is small and you won't feel it from the driver's seat. What you're really getting is a clean carbon finish on one of the most looked-at parts of the car. It's a good choice for a show car or for an NSX you just want to look great, without changing anything about how Honda designed it.

OEM Shape, Gloss Finish

Seibon kept the factory shape, so it lines up with the body lines and mounting points the way the original panel does. It doesn't look like an add-on. The gloss clear coat is ready to go, with no paint needed. Treat it like paint. Wax it or ceramic coat it to protect the carbon and resin from UV. Carbon that's left unprotected in the sun can yellow or haze over the years, and on a car like this, you'll notice.

Install Notes

It's an OEM-style part, so it uses the factory mounting points. Fit it loosely first and check the gaps and alignment before you tighten anything down. Don't over-tighten fasteners into carbon. Snug and even is enough, and it's how you avoid cracking a mounting point. On an NSX, work on a clean blanket and take your time around the paint. Scratching the body while fitting a carbon panel is the last thing you want.
