Overview
A short engine-bay mod video, mostly music and B-roll, of John's Integra Type S getting a carbon fiber engine cover from Extreme Online Store (EOS). It replaces the plastic engine cover and, in his words, really ties the engine bay together. He says it's very affordable, and because EOS ships from Hayward, California, his order arrived in about three days. Looking at what's next for the engine bay, he mentions carbon intakes and inlet tubes, and he decides to leave the rest as it is because it already looks good. The cover is listed for the FL5 Civic Type R and the DE5 Integra Type S.
