Product Description
Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001 Stainless Engine Trim Package, 3 Pieces (EK41700)
EK41700 is a three-piece engine trim package for the 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser, 4-door hatchback. All three pieces are polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and they mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
One model year
QAA's row reads Chrysler PT Cruiser, 2001-2001, 4-door Hatchback. That single year is all this listing covers, so confirm your model year before ordering. The Fitment tab shows the entry.
What's in the package
An engine trim package is a set of polished accent pieces for the engine bay, visible when the hood is up. This one has three. The catalog doesn't describe which engine-bay surfaces each piece is shaped for, so the product photos are your map. Lay the pieces out next to those photos and compare them with your own engine bay before you start, and call us if anything doesn't look right.
Part number note
Quote EK41700 when you phone or order. It's printed in the title and matches the maker's own listing.
Outside the hood
For the exterior, the same PT Cruiser has BP41700 cross-listed, a seven-piece bumper package with front and rear accent and a tailgate insert. It's a way to carry the polished look outside as well. See its own page for details.
Steel and mounting
Polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge: thin, bright, and polished rather than plated. Each piece installs directly over the existing surface, no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Engine bay prep
Only work on a cool engine. Under-hood surfaces gather an oily film and dust that keep tape from bonding, so clean each mounting area thoroughly with degreaser and wipe away all residue. Make sure nothing is flaking or loose. Let the surfaces dry completely.
Installing three pieces
- Identify each piece's location from the photos.
- Dry-fit with the liner on and mark the edges with painter's tape.
- Peel the liner, align, and press firmly across the whole piece.
- Press again a minute later.
- Repeat for the other two pieces.
The Installation tab has the complete prep.
Why dress the engine bay
If you open the hood to show the car, you may want the engine bay to look as finished as the outside. Polished stainless accents brighten the PT Cruiser's engine bay without changing anything mechanical.
Taking your time
Engine bays have tight corners and curved surfaces, so don't rush placement. A small flashlight helps you see each edge. Dry-fitting all three pieces before peeling any liner lets you confirm the whole layout first, and painter's tape marks keep everything where you planned it once the liners come off.
Ordering checklist
Confirm a 2001 PT Cruiser, compare the photos with your engine bay, and plan a dry day with a cool engine.
Care
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth when the engine is cool. Avoid abrasives.

Installation tips: Engine Trim Package
- Unpack all 3 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
