Default LT1 alternator cover

Does anyone make a decent looking cover for the alternator?

American car craft makes a few different bolt on, leave on ones. I think rpi and southern car parts have the plastic for shows only covers.

So this one you can leave on?? That would be better than removing it while you drive like the others

Correct, it is installed using basic hand tools and stays on the car.

It can be in-installed as well.

The overlay and the crossed flags look great! Can you mock it up both ways?

CF or just custom painted to match Carbon Flash and I would be your second customer, provided we can run the car with it installed. No emblems needed if that helps control the cost.
