The top access was really convenient but at least you won't have to remove the fan assembly. If you do want to peak under the fan assembly for some reason, it comes off easily. But it would be nice to see the motor.....
Clear Lexan fan assemby and the other panel might be pretty neat looking.

Sorta like the custom clear engine covers in Caymans?

FWIW, it's the same with all 991's. And of course with a Boxster or Cayman access has been even more restricted for years....

That is cool looking, though kind of pricey. Maybe they'll make one that let's you reuse the existing fans on the 991/GT3. although with fans, fillers, and intake in the way, you wouldn't see much of the engine anyway. At least though, to Mike's point above, you could watch the engine fire as it's starting.
