Engine dress up site other than Phastek?
I went to a cars and coffee yesterday and ran into some fellow ZL1 owners. I loved their cars as they were bone stock except CAI's but VERY VERY clean cars. One of them was even the coveted Blue Ray Metallic with Recaro's and all the other nice factory upgrades. They were very nice and look forward to seeing them again in the future. And I admired their resilience to the urges to mod their cars haha!
I have been doing a bunch of work to my engine and my compartment is trashed haha. It is crowded and dirty. The other cars were beautiful in their compartments and it made me not want to pop my hood.... and show off the 764 RWHP my car possesses. They had done a few nice things to make their engines look nice (Coolant res covers, wrapped strut brace towers ETC). Both of them kept buying from Phastek. I am not a fan of that company in the least. I am not going to get it but I have made it a point to never buy from them again. I will say their selection is second to none. But, I can not find most of the stuff they offer on any other sites. My question is; is there anyone on here that is a rep for a company or know of a site that has clean looking, Black, billet engine dressup additions for ZL1's? Mainly needing a Fuse box cover, coolant cap, washer res cap, would like the vinyl ZL1 logo that goes on the bottom part of the hood, strut caps, dipstick cover and possibly a master cap. Looking for clean, simple and durable haha. Thank you in advance.

Bought my engine cover from them. A bit pricey but very nice.

I saved a lot of money making the covers myself and painting everything else (ie: engine cover, strut bar etc)

I like River City! I am looking for all Black stuff so I am not too sure about spending that much money... which is weird for me to say haha.
That is awesome work Stewart! I like it.

Ordered the Pirate kit. Radiator cap does not clear the hood. I am sending it back to them. Sucks bc this stuff looks good and it is good quality.

I ceramic coated the STB, strut covers, TB front accessory mounts, SC snout and valve cover, etc to keep the black theme going. I also painted the engine cover black to keep the OEM look going, but I only leave it installed when the car is stored for the winter.
