Default Joe Gibbs Engine Cover

Guys,
Been toying with the idea of buying one of the carbon fiber engine covers from Gibbs. I'm curious how it attaches. The picture on the website isn't so great, can anybody post a better shot of one? How does it attach?
TIA for any input.

There are some brackets that come off of the valve covers/coil brackets.

Nice piece, I too have been considering it....I was going to paint mine though.

Those covers really clean up the engine bay if you have a radix

I saw that too. I am not sure that I like it. I would like to see it a little cleaner, not so many bends. I havent seen it in person, you may need all those bends............

Why would you want to cover up a beautiful Radix install? Plus hold more heat in.
