New custom painted engine cover pics...
At least partially made up for the ripped bowtie pic from this morning! Got an engine cover custom painted from gaspumpguy (John) in Asheboro, NC. He had acquired another one and had it painted the same he did his previous Camaro. I traded him my stock one. it's high gloss PPG auto paint and he hand painted the letters and the mock bolts. Looks real great and a vast improvement over stock as shown before and after. If you're in the area, and interested, PM him and he can talk about doing yours how you'd like it. Hope you like the photos.

Looks great! I did mine too
I think you should have the V8 highlighted in a different color so it stands out. Just an idea

very nice! yes, good idea about the V8, probably should highlight in silver or red perhaps like the red SS emblems.

all of those look great, good job guys.
DevilKnight...just wanted to say I haven't got around to painting mine yet but my plans are pretty much exactly what you did. I'm not trying to copy you but there's only so many different directions you can go with the covers.

sweet, like the color combo.
do you have the 3D carbon fiber vinyl film in the bowtie? I had some I was thinking about replacing the vinyl black with on the SIM.

Wonderfully Awful Idea

Nice work to all. I hate fake bolts and I like when people replace them with real ones. Even if they aren't functional.
