Default CF engine pieces

Anyone know the best place to get CF engine pieces? I dont think I can get the engine cover itself because of my UGO STB but I am interested in the other pieces.

I dont think we can fit an engine cover anyway since you have a 99. 01+ got the mounts for the covers.

But as for the other pieces. IPT?

Thanks Mikal. Looks like the only thing I can use is the cam cover right? I thought there were more pieces available than just the manifold and cam cover?

I saw the ECU cover but it says IS only. It doesnt look like it will fit the GS. Any other site sell the CF pieces?

Also what is in the 5 piece kit? I see manifold, cam and ECU cover but what else?

I should still be able to use the cam cover right? Anyone bought from this site?

Rich the cam cover is all that fits the GS, also verify by phone that parts are ready to ship, there have been stories of long waits, when they were vendors here, my phone calls and pm's were never returned.

I dont know where to buy the pieces already CF but I sent my entire trim kit and a bunch of under the hood parts to Autodynamicswest.com. They do high Quality work for very reasonable prices. Checkout the website and see what you think.

Do you have the cam cover? Did you have any other CF pieces under your hood, and if so where did you get them from?
