Do a lot of people leave their engine covers on, or do they just discard them when they start modding the engine? I was just curious because I was hoping to see some pics of some modded engines w/o the covers and maybe like a powdercoated VC and such... I am torn between whether or not to keep them when I get to that point...

 

a lot of people paint them or buy the carbon fiber ones mine are painted i will post some pics soon of mine
