The cover won't hide that god-awful coolant resevoir for the pre-cooler. This is one of the big eye-sores that never goes away for Stillen. It even made my 2006 Pathfinder engine bay look like garbage.
In truth, there is no comparison between the two kits as far as aesthetics go. Absolutely no way that a cover could make the coolant resevoir or gawdy intake piping with bracket remotely appealing. Nothing will change about how the coolant hoses from a poorly designed intercooler/pre-cooler are draped across the valve covers and how the main wiring harness is relocated. This, again, is typical of these kits. My Pathfinder kit was obtrusive and developed poorly. Just from the few pictures shown in the Stillen thread, I can tell the same mistakes have been repeated. The level of Research and Development between the two kits is painfully obvious.
