    Dear Ferraristi,

    The year it came with the TR was the year you ADDED it to your engine cover.

    No but it looks like a window from a motor home, rubber seal and all.

    that would be an insult on most modern motor homes. more like an 80s van conversion...

    If it had come that way from the factory, many would be paying good money for the solid cover that we have now.

    Reference - how long before an aftermarket hood comes along to eliminate this fault on the new ZR1 Corvette?

    That Norwood cover is for a Testarossa and doesn't fit on a 512TR

    The new ZR1 doesn't have anything to show off, unlike the TR! Must admit the 512TR is poorly executed.

    Dear Ferraristi,

    I've never really been a fan of these see-thru engine covers...even the OEM ones on the 360 etc. It looks too "fast and the furious" . All you need are some neon under body lights, a big wing and a large "fart can" muffler.

    I just like the grill that allows you to see the "muscle" underneath without calling overt attention to one element overshadowing the rest of the car.


    ....just my 2 U.S. dollars,

    Sorry Shamile, to me it's just showing a little cleavage. To me one of the main parts to a Ferrari is the mechanical beauty of the design. After all this is mechanical design first wrapped in an exotic design body, to hide it from display is a crime. IMHO. Taking anything to an extreme wouldn't be good either.

    I love the way they look! Yes, it's a little eye-catching...but we ARE talking about a Testarossa, for pete's sake. The car is NOT demure.
