Fiberglass Engine Covers
Ecklers & RK Sport list fiberglass engine covers. I just wanted to see if anyone has used them and how they fit and hold paint.
Thanks

These are the smooth Eckler's fiberglass covers.
(fender covers, tank covers, fusebox and battery covers)
Autbuff's painted them almost 5 years ago. They fit great, and have held up very well.

I have a set of these at the painter's right now. They're for the wife's 01. They will be painted Speedway white. I have the quilted ones on my '99 and just think the smooth ones will have a cleaner look. We'll see....
