I can say this much. That rediculous plastic heat trap will be the first thing that comes off my car!

Of course, that FL sun was much harder on it than at higher latitudes. Yours has to be one of the last on the road, way to go!

Well, from the picture of the Dale Jr. cover http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...t=engine+cover I'd say a matte finish, but the V6 cover shown here http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9318 is a better pic and looks very glossy, so I guess shiney has it.
My T-Tops leak a little as well even with the new rubber. The paint on the Iroc is not original. It was repainted 8 or 9 years ago.

I agree with you that from the picture shown on the 2nd link above it looks like the engine cover will be shiney.
