Want a very unique C5?
I am giving serious consideration to selling my C5 with the engine work you see below. For the moderators, I didn't put this in the For Sale section because I'm not fully decided yet and I thought I'd see what my C5 brothers said about it.
Please respond to this post or IM me. Thanks everyone.

Your engine bay looks great, however,I personally would not pay more for your C5 just because of the engine compartment covers. If your car was bluebooked at 30k (not saying that it is or isn't) the engine compartment covers would add no value or justification for asking more in my opinion. You'd probably would be better off taking that stuff off and selling it seperately. It is a very specific theme as apposed to flames or skulls which everyone enjoys

I would never put Nascar stuff on my car but overall the work looks very good!!!! As mentioned though for sure take the parts off and sell seperate. You will not get anymore money for the car with the parts on. Its the best way to do it.
