Description
If you're looking for an easy, inexpensive way to enhance your underhood appearance or if your engine bay could use a touch of premium carbon fiber then we have you COVERED! Our ECS Tuning in-house designed and engineered Carbon Fiber Expansion Tank Cover Kit features precision 3D designed, gloss clear-coated carbon fiber overlays that simply lay over top of your OEM expansion tank and enhances the underhood appeal while covering up the ugly, grey plastic coolant tank.
Our precisely modeled 2-piece overlays feature a smooth, appealing exterior design with provisions machined for clearance on OE features such as coolant hose connections and the coolant level sensor. Pre-applied high-temperature automotive-grade 3M foam tape ensures the parts stay in position while creating a great seal between the upper and lower covers.
