Played around with left over 3M DiNoc carbon wrap on the engine cover. I had the entire cover wrapped, but the geometry of the front section of the cover was hard to get right. I removed the front section and will either leave it, paint it, or something else. I haven't decided yet. It took a few hours to install and rework after getting hot from driving.

This was the first attempt, and it looked really good until I drove the car

The front section of wrap lifted off the cover and began to pull away from the indents. I worked on it for an hour trying to repair it, but decided to just remove the front section. I added the Mountune decal to draw attention away from the blank from section. There are some really nice engine covers in the UK using different paint schemes.

cowl foam is missing on my ST, wasn't there on my 2011, but was present on my 2014 Fiesta Movement ST. The cowl looked to be the same as my 2011, but I guess I never really studied them together. I have also seen it missing on a number of 2014 cars. I don't know why some have it and some don't.

That looks awesome! Last weekend I wrapped my mountune intake and air box in some heatshield lava wrap to try to help keep intake temps a little lower. Weaved like carbon fiber. It helped a little but not much. I had the stuff laying around so I said why not, and I was already sick of the bright yellow mountune hose. Looks a little darker in person.

The heat wrap looks really good! I eventually want to wrap the intake tube.
