Default 2009 ram 5.7 engine cover ideas?

Ok I am sick of looking at this ugly plain piece of black rubbery like plastic thing Dodge calls an engine cover on my 5.7 Hemi whenever I pop the hood. Has anyone painted theirs or did anything that would make it look more attractive, or is there a better looking one you can buy anywhere? Any ideas, pics?

I haven't personally painted mine, but you won't find any shortage of members who have. Depending on how creative you want to get, they can look quite nice with a little time and TLC

Get one of these stickers for the cover. Not sure why, but every time I see your truck I think Fall Guy. Must be the bed bar, because the truck isn't even the right color.

Well, oldjeep funny you mention Fall Guy because that show is EXACTLY why I love lifted 4x4's with bed roll bars so much! I loved that show as a kid and always wanted that truck (even though it was a GMC) I'm glad when you see my truck you think Fall Guy because that was the idea! Since my truck is an 09 the Rugged Brown wasn't available, it was a new color for '10 If it were available I probably would have gotten brown. I have also heard people say it reminds them of Bigfoot the monster truck (the original one) which is blue but is a Ford. Another truck I loved and wanted as a kid So whether you call it Bigfoot, Fall Guy, etc, they are all compliments to me and it means my truck is projecting the image I want it to!
