Default Where to buy engine covers?

I'm looking to have my engine compartment components painted and need to know where to go to get the parts that fit and look right. Understand the FRCs and fan shroud can be painted as is; where can I get the coolant and washer tank smooth covers? Anything else I need to complete the look?

Thanks, Gordon

Gordon:
Check these sites out.

I think all of the MidAmericas and West Coast Corvettes get their painted covers from Kewl also. Mabey another CF member can verify that.


This thread may give you some ideas.

Those painted covers do look good!


Thanks,
Bob

I have the Kewl ones and they look great. But the ones from the Vetteshop are very nice also.
