    If the car is an "E" then the shroud should be green. It really depends on what you'd like to do with
    your car, keep it original or personalize it.

    The shroud color is there to identify the engine. If the engine is a true S (by serial # and components) then use the red shroud.

    If you've got a real deal S engine, go with red!
