Product Description
The APR Carbon Fiber Engine Cover provides a premium finishing touch for Volkswagen and Audi engine bays equipped with compatible EA888 engines. Unlike smaller factory engine covers that leave much of the top of the engine exposed, APR uses a larger design that extends across both the engine and intake manifold area for a cleaner and more complete appearance.
Constructed from genuine carbon fiber, the cover features a gloss twill weave finish with black accents and integrated APR branding. The design takes inspiration from the larger factory-style covers found on higher-performance Volkswagen and Audi applications while adding the distinctive appearance of carbon fiber.
For vehicles originally equipped with a shorter engine cover, APR includes billet stand-off pegs for the intake manifold mounting points. The pegs twist into position and allow the engine cover to securely pop into place, creating a straightforward installation without permanent vehicle modifications.
APR also incorporates dedicated hose cutouts for compatibility with the APR Full Catch Can System. This allows compatible catch can hoses to pass through the cover without requiring trimming or modification.
On compatible EA888 Gen 4 and Gen 4B applications, the larger cover conceals the oil cap when installed, creating a cleaner and more uniform engine bay appearance. The cover also pairs well with APR carbon fiber intake components for owners looking to create a coordinated carbon fiber engine bay.
Best For: Volkswagen owners looking to replace the factory engine cover with a larger genuine carbon fiber design that provides a cleaner, more premium engine bay appearance.
