I remember seeing this advertised years ago, it's a clear cover you can get for the engine.
Anyone know about this? I can't find who was selling these.
Thanks

so the whole thing would be clear - and you could see the motor from outside the car? might be interesting. never heard of that.

then we could all start spending money on painted dress up engine bay parts!

Here's what someone did on they Cayman. Looks pretty cool. I haven't seen one on a Boxster but that doesn't mean it isn't out there.

And here's a DIY for the Cayman if you are so inclined to try it out on the Boxster.

The "Adrenalizer". Their website seems to be defunct, not sure about the product.

That doesn't sound like a good idea to me. You are already extremely close to the engine as is, all that is separating you from it is the rubber insulation. If you remove that, it makes things more hotter, noisier, and potentially more dangerous.

And as someone mentioned, what's the point? Top up it's like trying to look through a mailbox, and top down the engine is covered by the roof.
