Engine Dress Up
Engine dress up parts replace or cover factory plastic and metal components to give the engine bay a cleaner, more finished look. This range includes carbon fibre engine, fuse, alternator and pulley covers, valve covers, clear timing belt covers, billet oil caps and breather plugs. It is part of our Engine Internals category.

Choosing the Right Part
- Match the chassis code, not just the model name. Subaru covers are split by body. COBB Tuning makes separate engine covers for the WRX VA and VB, and its alternator and fuse covers suit the GE/GH/GR/GV WRX and GRB/GVB/VAB STI. BMW covers are listed by chassis and engine, such as F80/F82/F87, G80/G82/G87 and B58-equipped G-series models.
-
Check the oil cap thread or fitting type. Turbosmart billet oil caps are made for specific filler necks:
- M32x3.5 for Nissan Skyline (R31 to R34), 200SX (S14/S15) and 180SX
- M35x4 for Ford Falcon (BA to FG X), FPV F6 and Mazda
- M37x3 for Toyota Supra (JZA80)
- M42x4.5 for Subaru WRX and WRX STI
- Notch type for the Holden Commodore V8 (VT to VF), HSV and the Ford Mustang and Ranger
- A version for -12AN oil filler ports
- Check the side and quantity. Some fuse covers are sold as driver side, passenger side or as a pair. Confirm which one you need before ordering.
- Choose the finish. Carbon options include gloss, matte, forged and twill weaves. Some Dinan covers combine matte and gloss accents, so pick the finish that suits the rest of your engine bay.
Installation & What You'll Need
Most dress up parts replace or sit over an existing factory component. Before you start, check each product listing for what is included and any fitment conditions. Turbosmart oil cap O-rings and inserts are sold separately as service parts for the billet oil cap. Installation by a professional is recommended.
