4.6 vs 5.0 engine cover

[ShadowZ]

Ok guys, I have searched and have not found.

Main issue:
Since I have not found a KDM version of the engine cover, if there is such an item, I was wondering if the engine covers between the two V8's were interchangeable? Has anyone measured the contact points on the two covers, or tried fitting them?

The 5.0 looks much nicer than the 4.6. I would like to swap them for aesthetic purposes and not to try and fool anyone.

ALSO

Did the cars come with plastic covers in the engine bay that go over the wheel wells? I know I have seen it on the Prada version and it looks like there are places for them to attach on my '09.


Thanks gents.

Obviously, there is such a thing, but apparently none of the KDM parts importers stock that part or list it on their website. But you can contact them and ask if they will purchase it in Korea and import it for you. Probably not going to be cheap, since it is fairly large part and the shipping cost from Korea could be high.

The list price of the USA 4.6 version imported by HMA is $341.37, but they usually get their parts shipped in large quantities via ocean freight. Strangely, the list price of the 3.8 cover for 2008 sold by US dealers is $559.47 (I think it has some extra filters or something attached to the bottom).

The list price of the 2012-13 5.0 cover is identical to the 4.6, but when looking at the pics of the two parts on www.newhyundaiparts.com they look different.

Engine? Oh, is that what's under that front hood thingy?
