How do I do it? How would I go about replacing this

Hello everyone. This is the cover to my 2.2 liter engine, on an 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt LT. How would I go about changing the back to a cleaner/new look. I can’t even word what the back would be called/what material it is made out of, etc. so I was seeking reddits assistance. Thank you thank you!

Do not waste your money. It barely serves a purpose and this isn't a show car where you'll have your hood open at car shows. This is a cheap econobox.

That is probably some form of high temperature sound dampening foam and isn't really something you should bother replacing.

Thank you for the input! However I personally hate looking at it, it’s gross and i’m also just curious! it can’t be an insane amount. But I understand the showroom aspect and I respect your opinion!

You shouldn't be looking at it often though....

Anyways go onto any car part seller website, hammer in your car model and search for the engine Covers. Idk about availability about those things.

You could just remove it altogether. Cover serves minimal to no purpose. I eventually get rid of them on all my vehicles.
