Wiper bay cover

Just wanted to share this with ya'll, in case anyone was wondering what these cheesy ABS plastic things would look like on their rides. Lettering was 25 clams at a local sign shop, brushed alum. self-adhesive. (now for a new over-flow tank!)

I have one of those covers sitting to the side of the garage and wondered how I was going to finish it up. Thanks for the answer, that looks great!!!

Just 4 small sheel metal screws. Wanted it setting flush on top of the cross piece, velcro would raised it up a bit as would 2-sided tape like they suggest. Yours looks pretty sharp as well. On the MC cover, don't ask where to get one, came off my Brothers '34 Ford Roadster, WAS a 'Vette MC, mounted under the floorboard, drilled and tapped for remote reservoir, he went with all Wilwood set-up.

I also installed one on my 73 and 75 vettes. I did not like the way the stock setup looked with the hood open. It looked unfinished. The cover really cleans it up.

I used velcro with mine so that I could get into the wiper area if needed.

Here's mine, I did even better than you at the sign shop, 10 bucks and in the same font as my rear lettering. I attached it with 5 of those plastic push-in pins that hold Hondas together.
