Removing engine cover

Post by TMK988 » Fri Aug 10, 2007 12:24 pm

I want to paint my engine cover (3.0, '06 Coupe). It seems that it just snaps off, but I just want to be sure before I yank it and crack something. Can anyone confirm this?
Thank you,
Tom

Pull up and it will pop off....real easy and no tricky connector/fasteners. I've done mine to clean and detail the engine area.

Thanks 20ducks, I'll do that little project tomorrow. By the way, that picture you have has been making me just a little crazy since I found this site...
