The one that jason has is the FEED CF cover. This is the Signal one. Now im not sure if this one is a cover also but im gonna assume it is by being able to see the lip of the UIM at the bottom there........

lol i have it on my car. i am the one that made jason buy it! and yes its a total bitch to put on. the one that says signal on it i believe is just a sticker they put on it. i m pretty sure just feed makes it. also it is just a cover....its only purpose is to make the engine look pretty. as far as heat is concerned i didnt notice any increases in air temps on my pfc commander. and the normal underhoop temp gauge (my hand) didnt notice anything either. when i get home from work i will post some pics if you guys want.
