C32 Front Engine Cover

I posted in the classifieds with not much luck so I figured I would try here. I am looking for the C32 front engine cover since mine broke and I would rather buy one used in fairly good condition rather than brand new. If anyone is willing to sell, let me know. Thanks.

I would try a junkyard but I am stationed in Korea until the end of Aug so until then I wont have any on hand resourses to find one. I am trying to find one online. I may just buy new from parts.com but I wouldnt mind getting one for half the cost brand new.

Just let me know, and could you send me some pics of yours too? What will you be looking to get just for the front cover? Thanks.

Depends on where you buy one but from the dealer is is $130 but from parts.com where I plan on buying one if I have no luck finding one used is $90. Not expensive but wouldnt mind finding one cheaper here, know what I mean.

At this point wouldn't it have been cheaper for you to just purchase a C32 instead of turning a 240 into what looks like one?

I am not turning it into what looks like a C32. I have a C32 intake for more air into my engine. If I were to throw some badges on that say C32 then I would understand where your coming from. I added the intake because it is an easy mod for better performance. Didnt know that means I am making it look like a C32 since there is a gaping hole in the middle since I dont have the supercharger or intake covers since my engine is N/A.

Sorry my post came across a bit dickish. At the prices the 32s are going for these days, you should still say screw the 32 engine cover and just buy the whole car.

true,....but, if you have the SL55 intake like me, the M113k cover, from say the SL55, is the only one that will fit (with minor trimming of course)

I already have the C32 intake but I only need the front cover now. The intake boxes are getting CF on them now and then once I get the cover I will send that out to get CF too. I dont want to just paint them like everyone else.
