Just for clarifications sake. Those red things in the black lines on the coil covers are REFLECTIONS..........NOT imperfections. ALL the black is extremely shiney and absolutely no visible lines seen between the transition of the red to black from the lines and letters. AMAZING work.

BleedinBlue I typically make things to order. I have an ebay account but rarely use it. Think I have come radiator extensions on there and thats it. Hell had a z06 spoiler on there the other day guy buys it from california had listed as standard shipping 6 to 10 days to california from indiana. He received it in 4 days after payment sent. Left me a neutral feedback saying nice product but slow shipping.

Gotcha. I saw that post on your FB and assumed you had a few things up on Ebay. I might hit you up in the future.

This is my wife's '14 GHIG. Painted by a friend of a friend using factory paint. Cost $200 to get it all done. Those letters are a pain to clean. Lol.

This was my old setup:


This was before the airbrushed radiator cover:

JUST BLACK WITH CLEARCOAT...i would recommend that for everyone for a nicer look if they don't want color on that piece.

This is now:



WITH MY ENGINE COVER NOW BEING THE VMP :)

Except now I have a master cylinder and battery cover to match the design of the radiator cover (just the effects..not the coyotes)

Here it is before it goes back on the car. Putting the lettering and numbers on sucked. It's like the game Operation but you're putting stuff in, not taking things out. My 3 was cracked, put it on anyway the 3M tape holds it together but you can still tell up close. I will email them and see what they say. Maybe they will send me another one. It came out ok, but I think I was expecting to like it more. And bc the lettering and numbers are so intricate the cutting edges end up a little jagged. It looks good from far but up close the edges are not as clean as I would like. The strips came out good and due to the size the edges are much smoother. I'm glad I didn't do the outline pieces. Even with doing it inside at proper temp, cleaning the cover with alcohol, twice, and using adhesion promoter, the 2 and the C still popped up in the corner, and had to use a tiny bit of glue. I'll post a pic when I put it back on the engine.

I think it looks really good!!!! Adds a nice touch to the intake cover without being gawdy. IMO.

And LOL @ Operation game reference !!!!! Hahahahah

Here it is on. But surprisingly enough I actually like the way it looks of still. Ever since I seen the leaked under hood shot of the GT350 it intrigued me. For someone like myself that prefers everything clean and minimalist, I like the rawness of the engine with the cover off seeing what's hiding under there. Maybe I'll leave it off for a little while. What do you guys think ?
