Help finding an aftermarket NSX-R/mesh engine cover for 95+ targa

[Coconut]

I was just about to order SoS' beautiful NSX-R Engine Cover until I realized its only compatible with the coupes :frown:. Does anybody know of any other "mesh" style engine cover thats compatible with the 95+ Targa models?

I took off my engine cover since I like to see the engine, but I prefer to have an engine cover so I can still retain the rubber seal.

They did have a installation kit listed for the targa but not now. Wonder whats up since i was getting ready to order one :frown:

Unfortunately, we were not able to adapt the cover to a targa NSX due to the increased height of the framing around the engine bay. Installing a flat cover like the NSX-R cover would require significant removal of material from the bottom support brace. It can be done (one of our customers has done so) however, it decreases the rigidity of the cover significantly.

Chris,

Will you guys be offering a carbon fiber engine cover for Targa anytime soon?

Not planning on taking the roof off much?

The roof fits in the trunk nicely. Just rotate the roof 180 and drop it in at an angle.

Some of us can't use the factory cover. Guess i'll just have to go without which screws up my plan. :frown:

A flat style one like the NSX-R cover would not be possible on the targa car with out removing much of the reinforcement rib due to the targa's raised front section in the engine bay.
