Yep, I ordered one set, 2 large and 2 small. They also have custom sets also. May need to get one more reflecting of the power it puts out now,. Or close anyway

Do you mind sharing how much they charged you? Looks very nice.

So you guys have done some Awesome Mods to your covers.

Question:
Does anyone know if the cover is "Needed" or is it just for looks?? Is it needed for airflow or thermal reasons?
Just wondering.
Thanks

Mostly it's for sound supression. Some thermal insulation. I don't think it hurts anything to run without one though.

Looks fantastic eddie.

You can remove the cover and run the car with no problems.

Just finished mine. Took me almost three hours of taping off because I'm anal, but it was actually an enjoyable project, and only ran me $45 after the custom decals I had cut and the fender lettering I ordered from the dealer. I was going to do IBM like my car, but I wanted it to stand out against the black engine parts and I'm doing aqua lighting under the hood and in the ****pit and trunk, so I thought I'd do an aqua theme.

What y'all think?

ChadG · 08-22-2011, 06:51 PM

Wow that looks great! The tape job really paid off, do you mind describing your prep/paint process and what products you used?
