Ugh. Not another Pedal Commander thread. These always devolve into a grade-school "is too/is not" argument. Search here and you'll find a couple. Make sure you understand exactly what it does and what it doesn't do, then make a decision based on that.

I have no idea what wires you're talking about.

All those loose looking wires. There has to be a way to make this engine pretty!

The supercharger isn't visible there, but now I know what you mean. The factory decided to cover all that up because it's far cheaper to cover something than make it pretty. There's a carbon fiber cover available; there might even be some still available at a substantial discount. You could also polish the intercooler cover and at least draw attention away from the rest. I'm sure there are other options, but that's all I've seen done here.

I sincerely don't mean any disrespect, but I notice the dirt, dust and grime way more than those wires...
A nice engine detail will make it look better than trying to conceal those wires.

I would agree 100%. While they aren't beautiful engines (including mine)…They sure do look a lot better when you keep them clean and/or polished.

Not a big fan of the covers, but it does hide those wires and looks decent when painted or hydro-dipped. And clean.

They do look pretty good when cleaned up. Now I need some Carbon Fiber intake tubes.

adamesh has a great price on the Carbon Fiber engine cover, as long as the supply last.
As for the other Carbon Fiber pieces they are no longer available. There was a group buy about 4 years ago when Derek started to make them but only a couple of us bought them, so not worth his time or money to produce them and he stopped. As far as I know there are only a VERY few of these sets around.
