Default timing belt exposed question???

i carry gates belts at work, and the company has come out with a new silicone style belt, reinforced and is 3-4 times stonger than a stock timing belt, serpantine belt, and radiator hoses.... they r blue in color only (not sure why) anyway..... has any of the neon drivers ran the timing belt exposed.... pulling that plastic cover off the top kinda like u see the hondas and other such cars in most compact car mags????if so can someone post some pics???????????

i thought it would look sick with the belts and hoses gates offers???? blue silver and black is my paint colors anyway??????????



what r all ur guys thoughts?????????????????????????????

I didn't take the cover completely off on mine, I just cut a hole so that you could see the gear. Its kinda hard to see beacuse of all the lines that go across.

that is what i am thinking about, is r u really going to see the timing belt that much because the power steering hoses go right over it... and i would have to do alot of moding to get the hoses around the timing gear
