I'm guessing that's the Roland Sands front cover trim??

I think that photo is of the RSD front cover, not the RSD trim piece.
I looked through the forum but didn't find a good photo of the trim installed on the stock engine cover.
I have the engine cover trim piece but haven't installed it yet, still debating it. I have the valve cover trim installed on the stock covers and that improves things quite a lot. Maybe after I get the reservoir covers installed... maybe.
 
Hmmmm, you may have convinced... or at least, influenced me.
I do think the polished engine cover helps. The stock matte-finish engine cover doesn't pop like that.
 
Thanks, Star-Lord, that's what I was looking for! My only other concern is interference with the Wunderlich oil cooler cover that I have installed. How far down does it sit on the engine cover, and how is it attached?
 
You definitely need to temporarily detached the oil cooler in order to install the accessory; download the install documentation.

I think that all or most of these covers are extremely similar. IMG_5951.jpeg
