My new engine bay look

For the third time. Carbon fiber and chrome. Thanks to Kewl, WCC and CEC. Local friend did the airbrushing of lettering. Almost the way I want it. Hate that damn battery cover. Have tried to get three different places to laser cut one in cf that will fit...no luck.

I see what you mean by the batery cover, it just doesn't look nearly as nice as the other pieces. Goodluck finding something!!

Looks spectacular! But is that the C6 font on the FRC's?

Well if it is, my friend who did the airbrushing has been do it since 1999.

No seriously, its the 3rd that I know of that he's done and it was copied from the stencil he had for my 98. May just look funny due to resolution and lighting.

It suddenly dawned on me that perhaps you were referring to size. If so, yes. Eric had to downsize the stencil slightly till he got the lettering to his satisfaction (with respect to curvature and placement)before air-brushing the letters.
