One other consideration is that the carpeting adds a tremendous amount of sound insulation that sometimes is a good thing. Yes, the roar at 6500 RPM's is intoxicating but even with the stock panel on without the insulated carpet I hear too many other noises at idle and low speed that start to freak me out. Maybe its just me but when I hear every tick and rattle I start thinking about what might be going wrong when most of it is just normal engine noises.

yup i drove w cover off once too, ridiculously loud, no way will i ever do that again.

i think that it owuld be cooler to have an opening in beween the seats, and possibly put some strategically placed lights inside, red or whatever other color, so u can see the engine

Does anyone have the link to removing the sound pad for more ear enjoyment? I completely understand how to remove the engine cover, but do not wish to drive around like that. I'm thinking buy a cover from a salvage yard and modify it somehow. I know I'll loose my rear speakers, but I don't listen to the stereo anyway. My main concern is damage to the top while in the down position.

Yes this is the thing I was thinking of. Guess I remembered it being cooler than it is. I do say that it looks better here "http://www.adrenalineautomotive.com/product.html" Thanks for looking out.
