I order the engine cover from Ali Express but it came by itself, no clips or bolts

Booooo. Contact the seller (Shop3218038 Store).

I’m sure they can fix that issue, only problem is how many days before the clips reach you.

My engine has 3 locations where the engine cover "SHOULD" snap into the holes. Does the cover you ordered not have three 1/2-inch studs that clip into the 3 holes?

I didn't take pictures of the cover before install, but from what I remember, there might be 2 studs you attach to the engine and one stud gets attached to the cover, or vice versa? Anyway, all parts were included and it wasn't hard to figure out.

Did this project noticeably help with engine noise or was it purely cosmetic.

It's my daughters car that I rarely drive. I think there was a small improvement in noise, but I'd say mostly cosmetic.

Will it fit in 2023 Models?

Personally, I never cared for the Hog hair insulation but the rodents love to use it for making their homes for keeping warm in the winter also it keeps the heat in the engine compartment just like the stupid-looking engine "beauty covers" if you think they look better than your engine that is I will not be putting either on my Cross maybe they leave them off to trim the cost as well as the compartment temps down
