Description

The HKS Carbon Engine Cover is a premium dress-up component engineered to elevate the aesthetics and under-hood airflow of the GR Corolla. Constructed from genuine dry carbon fiber with a classic twill weave, it transforms the engine bay with a luxurious, motorsport-inspired appearance while incorporating functional design improvements over the factory cover. Unlike purely cosmetic pieces, this cover is designed to enhance air management beneath the hood, marrying high-end visual appeal with thoughtful engineering.

Product Highlights

✨ Luxurious, Authentic Carbon Aesthetics
Crafted from genuine dry carbon fiber, this cover features a high-visibility twill weave that immediately elevates the engine bay’s appearance. It offers a sophisticated, weight-saving alternative to the stock plastic cover, signaling a commitment to quality and performance-focused details.

🌬️ Functional Airflow Design
HKS engineers reshaped the cover to improve air management within the crowded engine bay. Internal testing confirms that the HKS design allows more fresh air to pass between the underside of the hood and the cover compared to the stock unit at the same vehicle speed. This promotes better heat evacuation from the turbocharged G16E-GTS engine bay, contributing to improved thermal efficiency.

🔇 Maintains Factory Refinement
Understanding the importance of daily comfort, the cover is designed to accommodate the transplant of the factory soundproofing material from the original engine cover. This ensures noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels remain equivalent to stock, preserving the GR Corolla’s refined cabin character while upgrading the engine bay’s look.

⚖️ Lightweight & Precision Fit
As a direct replacement part, it offers a reduction in weight over the stock plastic cover while ensuring a perfect, hassle-free fitment with all original mounting points, maintaining a clean, OEM-plus installation.
