You should make fun of me mercilessly for this:

It’s an engine cover for my Kia Sedona Minivan that creates an illusion of Intake runners. Worst of all, it was scratched up, so I repainted the silver. I hang my head in shame.

Aside from appearance, these covers are good for noise suppression too.

Can't be that much dumber than the blue glow-in-the-dark shift knob I bought recently.

Nope. Not dumb. Im always amazed at how much they cut moise and dirt in the engine bay.

Repainting it was a good touch!

The best part about the fake runners is the cover looks like a longitudinal setup, but the engine is actually transverse mounted. 

I want to know why mine didn’t come with the fancy paint. Our 2010 is just black plasticfrown

In reply to JoeyM :

I like the Miata teeth!   They went with the googley eyes I had on it for a bit.

My vote for dumbest purchase has to be these idiotic things.
