What do you think about them?
How do they hold up?

Have dad a set on for 2 years. Yellow. Also radiator shroud. Hit them with a little Adam's Detail Spray and they look and feel like new. Just be careful removing them. Especially around the fuel line. I tape the edges before removing them to keep from scrapping off any paint on the edges of the groove. They dress up the engine compartment nicely.

I've had mine on my car for probably 4 years. Have held up exceptionally well. Got them from Kewl.

Not smoothies, but covers by ChevyChad. I think he only charged ~ $215 for all three pieces.
Nothing to fancy under my hood, but I like the combination with the exterior of my '99. And they have been on for over a year with no problem so far.
