I've thought about doing something like this too (down the road). I would suspect you can pull the logo off using the same technique as that of debadging the rump (i.e. use heat, go slowly and be careful). You'll probably need to use some kind of high-temp paint on it, given the amount of heat generated under the hood -- I can fry eggs on my intake manifold even after the car's been sitting for two-plus-hours. And if you muck it up I'm sure you can pickup another cover at the scrapper.. I can't imaging them being in any huge demand. Good luck!

Another option is Mossy Performance's new carbon fibre engine cover for 3.5 SE Altimas (link)... I love the look but it's probably gonna be around USD$269+ based on the pricing for similar-sized c/f covers.

Something to keep in mind tho...
