Default Custom Alternator Covers Available C5 (pics)

Hi, I have been a forum member for over a year and a forum vendor for the past 6 weeks. I have been producing many unique and custom hand built products for the C6. I have had many requests to build some products for the C5. I have delivered quite a few cap sets and etched alternator covers (etching can be customized to your requirements). Built from heavy gauge .030 mirror polished 304 stainless steel. The graphics are etched into the stainless and will not rub or polish out. Attaches (no drilling required like the others for sale) to the alternator bracket using the existing bolt in seconds.
LINK TO MY SITE. Currently on my site the caps sets, booster covers and alternator covers will fit the C5, I will have a fuse cover available shortly. Thanks for looking

The flash causes the etch to look very white but it's more like a frosted finish

Would the prices be the same for the C5s, If so I would be interested in a fuse box cover

Prices are the same, can do most graphics and lettering. As you know the fuse box is different so I am in the process of making the C5 cover. Look at my photo page for some custom work. LINK

Not to be rude but why are you pushing C6 stuff in C5 General? I'd probably be interested if you had C5 stuff too.

Not sure you read the top post, "Currently on my site the caps sets, booster covers and alternator covers will fit the C5, I will have a fuse cover available shortly"

Sorry! I went to the site and all I saw was C6 stuff. Just a suggestion, you ought to make it clearer on the site that some things are available in C5 variety as well. With the name its very confusing. I definitely like the alternator cover and will probably order one when I'm done with my interior. Nice product!

Your work looks great.
Got any pictures of other C5 stuff installed?
I was curious on how the alternator cover with etching would look from a viewers standpoint.
