Default Lost my engine cover

I know that this sound pretty dumb but on way home from the lake I lost my engine cover there is a problem with the actuators and they were unhook I must of hit a bump and it opened and got some air and I lost it I went back and could not find it.Dose anybody know where I can find another one,I have a 1994 Z 240 talari its Burgundy but at this point I need to get one before the wife freaks out so I don't care what color it is. Thank you all for the help.

    Your chances of finding another one are somewhere between slim & none unfortunately. Keep an eye on our own Parts & Collectibles for sale, eBay and Craigslist to see if anyone is parting out a similar boat. Your other option is to make one.....

    I went out and took another look this morning and found it .It was not where I thought I lost it.Found it leaning up against a fence It will need to have some of the upholstery replaced but it did not break. I will get the upholstery replace when the man comes back from vacation a week from Monday and I have already fix the actuators .So this wont happen again I still cant get over fact that I drove it 340 miles on the trailer on a very windy night and no problem and I was going 40 mph on a flat road and it came off go figure.

    Man , you're lucky Ray!
    Chances of finding it was one in a million.......chances of finding it in one piece is priceless!!
    Since reading of such accidents , I always use a couple of bungies on mine now. Better safe than sorry.
    Glad you were able to find it!
