It's the point where a lot of bays start looking unfinished. Spoon's answer is this: an autoclave-molded pre-preg carbon and Kevlar cover that sits over the coils and turns the top of your engine into the best-looking part of the bay. It's dress-up with a bit of heat shielding, not a power part, and it's one of the most recognizable pieces in the Spoon catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eReal Dry Carbon, Not A Skin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth understanding what you're getting, because carbon covers vary enormously in quality. This is pre-preg dry carbon with Kevlar, autoclave molded, which is genuine composite construction rather than a plastic part with a carbon-look wrap over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight tells the story. The K20C version comes in at 85 grams against 700 grams for the factory plastic cover. That's not why you're buying it, but it's a good indicator of what the construction actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWatch Out For Fakes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk, because it's a real problem with this part. Counterfeit Spoon carbon shows up constantly, and it's convincing enough in photos that people get caught out regularly. The knockoffs use cheaper layup, the weave wanders, and the finish yellows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuy through an authorized dealer. That's the only way to know you've got the real thing, and it's the difference between a piece that still looks right in five years and one that doesn't make it through two summers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePick Your Engine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach cover is molded for a specific engine family, so match yours before ordering:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: none; padding-left: 0; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e12231-16B-020 - B16A \/ B16B \/ B18C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e12231-AP1-020 - F20C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e12231-K20-020 - K20A, K20Z, and K24A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e12231-FL5-020 - K20C (FK8, FL5, Accord 2.0T, Integra Type S)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e12231-BF1-020 - BF1 Prelude\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eK24A Owners: You Take The K20 Cover\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth explaining, since it's counterintuitive. The K20A, K20Z, and K24A all share the same valve cover, and the coil packs sit in identical positions across them. So a TSX, a K24 Accord, a CR-V, or an Element uses the same cover as an RSX or an EP3.
