1st OIL CHANGE @ 1200 MILES

The shield that covers the oil pan and filter. I replaced the Phillips head screws with shoulder hex screws.
Also, considering removing the red engine cover. Concern is would it let heat escape better, or would it let the hood get hotter, and affect the paint if removed?

I've been thinking about removing my engine cover as well, It'll look new when you sell someday. dont think it'll hurt the paint. what size screws did you use?

6mm thread, 8 x 5.5mm shoulder. They stick out a little, but I was seeing issues in future with the Phillips head screws.
P.S. they were so tight, I had to use an impact screwdriver on them? Why would factory do that??

no engine cover on my Si. doubt it would cause an issue.
