Do they interchange = I don't know
They are not interchangeable. The 2GR-FSE and 4GR-FSE have different mounting points for the valve bank covers.

the price of the cf cover is ridiculous.... 865 is nuts just for an engine cover... its not like it gives you 20hp lol

IMO custom painting the stock one is the best option...

Default Post pics of painted engine cover.

I plan on doing a custom paint job to my engine cover. I just wanted to see what you guys have done. I will not copy anybody's artwork... I'm just interested in the creativity that some of you might have put forth. I understand that not many people will see this piece, but I wanna give the people that do see it a lil shock and awe when they open my hood and expect a simplistic, factory setup. Hope to see some kool *****.

meeee too... im thinking about getting some SGM paint in a spray can and attempting to do it myself. i alweys say i want to do some work to my car myself, and being that the engine cover isnt alweys visible, i think i may give it a shot. the only thing is, i dont have any experience painting anything, and i am a perfectionist, so if it doesnt come out good im not going to be happy lol
