If you're looking for an easy, inexpensive way to enhance your underhood appearance or if your engine bay could use a touch of premium carbon fiber then we have you COVERED! Our ECS Tuning in-house designed and engineered Carbon Fiber Expansion Tank Cover Kit features precision 3D designed, gloss clear-coated carbon fiber overlays that simply lay over top of your OEM expansion tank and enhances the underhood appeal while covering up the ugly, grey plastic coolant tank.
Our precisely modeled 2-piece overlays feature a smooth, appealing exterior design with provisions machined for clearance on OE features such as coolant hose connections and the coolant level sensor. Pre-applied high-temperature automotive-grade 3M foam tape ensures the parts stay in position while creating a great seal between the upper and lower covers.
PART DESIGN
Designed in-house using state of the art 3D laser scanning and CAD technology for precision fitment
Made from lightweight, hand-laid epoxy resin pre-impregnated 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber cloth and autoclave cured. Clear coated for excellent finish durability and UV resistance.
Hides the ugly, grey plastic expansion tank
Pre-applied foam tape creates a lasting connection to the expansion tank while creating a seal between the upper/lower covers. 3M foam tape is resistant to the continuous heat in the engine bay and is resistant to chemical degradation.
Lug features on the upper overlay covers the expansion tank vent and create a unique stylistic design
Incorporated sight-window allows visibility of coolant level with both covers installed
Expansion tank mounting bolts remain accessible, allowing removal of expansion tank while keeping the covers in place
Compatible with the following expansion tank caps: OEM, Audi R8, Porsche 991 and Gen3 "B"
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our ECS Carbon Fiber Expansion Tank Cover Kit was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.

We update our catalog daily to provide the most accurate fitment information possible. When shopping for parts, please use the “select your vehicle” car selector on the home page. Once you've selected your car, you can filter parts specific to it.
Additionally, on each product page, we have a tab for fitment information. By clicking on "Fitment", you can scroll and verify the part you are about to add to your cart indeed fits.
Furthermore, if you have a vehicle added to our vehicle selector and you are viewing a product page, you'll see fitment information below the "add to cart" button. If an item fits your car it will display "This Part Fits Your: Selected Vehicule". If an item does not fit your vehicle a message will display "This Part Does Not Fit".
A “Core Charge” is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have Core Charges that work the same way as a soda can deposit. The most common car parts that include a core charge are alternators, calipers, steering racks, and fuel injectors.
"MAP" pricing, or Minimum Advertised Pricing, means that the vendor set a minimum retail price that we're not allowed to violate. MAP items cannot be discounted because the decrease in price would violate that threshold.
