Ebay Engine Dress Up Kits. Safe? Frying The Computer/fuses?

[nathos]

hey on the car I purchased the previous owner had put on the ebay dress up kit with chrome looking covers stuck on the ecu and fuse box covers.

for those who dont know. this is an example

I personally am not the biggest fan however these are glued onto the original covers and I cant get them off.

These covers get really hot like burning hot after a hard drive.

Do you think its safe to leave these on ? or wiill the heat burn out my ecu or fuses or possibly both?

Lol mate they wont affect anything in any way I have every dress up kit you can buy all in polished stainless I've had it on my car for about 2 years and I drive my car hard and I haven't had an issue they do get a little hot but not hot enough to cause damage

the one I have has a couple of small velcro circles on both the ecu and the cover. You can remove the cover anytime you want and it holds in place.

PS my cover is a fibreglass black one from here :http://www.awcinfo.com//secureshop/category.php?cat_id=422

doesnt get hot at all...not sure about the chrome ones though

thanks mate good to know, now I can stop worrying I will fry the ecu

maybe they wont damage the parts but they damaged me! burnt the hell out of my hand haha

Those ones you posted look great but would prefer to spend the money on getting it quicker then making the bay look flashier !

cheers
