You don't see any of the blower through the hood. The silver part of what looks like the cover, is the intake plenum cap, which has the dual heat exchangers in it. The blower is the under the intake style, so even with the gay engine cover off, all you'd see of the blower is the drive pulley.

There's nothing wrong with that setup, lots of cars use it, but don't put a hole in the hood for nothing to look at.
