Default my parents engine "in memory theme"

thought i'd share some pics of my parent's 02 C5 engine compartment. the hoodliner is for my sister-killed in the line of duty in 99. the painted covers are from vetteshop.cc and the chrome caps are from mid america if im not mistaking. the chrome covers on the hoodliner retainers are simply faucet hole covers and the same thing was used for the headlight motor ***** (as seen in a recent DIY thread on it but i covered the clip portion of it w/rubber O rings).










and here is the headlamp motor **** covers:




this pic is not the C5 but one of their other toys- my dads GL1800 Honda Goldwing motorcycle. it too has the In Memory thing goin, this one was handpainted-his bike is handpainted with flames and stuff and thought this was cool to share also.
