Unpainted Covers?
I have fuel rails and the air box lid on the way to paint myself. Assuming they turn out O.K., does anyone know where I can buy unpainted covers for other parts in the engine? Did a search here and on Google and came up empty.

Eckler's sells the unpainted covers.
Some part #'s:
These are fiberglass covers that just cover your stock parts:
Fender covers :41019
Washer tank cover: 41017
Coolant tank cover: 41018
Battery cover: 41020
Fusebox cover: 41016 or 43250
These are other oem parts that you may wish to paint and replace your stock pieces:
Upper radiator shroud: 42934
Front radiator shroud: 41200
Fan shroud: 42937
Battery heat shield: 42901
That's about all the possible parts applicable for painting I can think of.

Checked out Ecklers stuff. Thanks again for the part numbers, etc., but I was hoping to get the "lumpy" (for lack of better words):o ones like the smoothies they sell pre-finished. Um, ....textured, bumpy, lumpy...whatever you call that.

You mean the waffle style tank/fender covers?
As far as I know, the only manufacturer of those is Kewl http://www.kewlauto.com The prepainted "smoothie" ones you see in Eckler's come from Kewl. They don't sell them unpainted, but if you want to try and beg for a raw set, call or email Greg...all he can do is say no.
