If you get hit hard enough to dislodge the engine cover which is in the middle of the car, you probably have much bigger worries. It is not a structural piece, and you have a roll bar, and seat between you and it. The covers main purpose is to act as a firewall, which plexiglass is not great for. But I have also never heard of a 986 having an engine fire.

If you are rocking a hardtop, it is only 4 bolts and some connectors to pull the soft top out of the car, so you can show the engine off.

Very cool mod, and Shehadehd is doing a great job! It is always awesome when some is willing to manufacture a popular modification for everyone to enjoy!
