HKS Carbon Fiber Engine Cover | Honda Civic Type R 2017-2025 FK8 FL5
The HKS Carbon Fiber Engine Cover is designed specifically for the Honda Civic Type R platform, including FK8 and FL5 chassis from model years 2017 through 2025. This component replaces the factory engine cover with a carbon fiber construction that emphasizes reduced weight and heat-resistant material properties commonly associated with motorsport-grade composites. The design follows the contours of the factory engine bay, maintaining compatibility with OEM mounting locations and surrounding components.
Material Construction and Design
This engine cover is manufactured using carbon fiber reinforced polymer, selected for its balance of rigidity and thermal stability in high-temperature engine environments. The surface features a visible carbon weave that aligns with other carbon fiber components often used in performance-oriented Honda applications. The profile is shaped to clear factory intake, ignition, and engine hardware without altering engine bay layout.
- Carbon fiber composite construction
- Lightweight alternative to the factory engine cover
- Heat-resistant material suitable for turbocharged applications
Vehicle Compatibility
Designed for the Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5 platforms, this engine cover supports both earlier and current generations within the specified year range. It integrates into the engine bay without requiring modifications to surrounding factory components, preserving service access points and factory clearances.
