Not the best close up shot but This engine bay needs some bling. If the chrome caps were there I would not need as much lighting and could remove the underhood light bulb to make the image brighter. Also I could use the additional HP that those would add.

This could be my motivation to take me from tragically dead stock, but clean, engine compartment, and on my way to a nicely modded engine compartment for the next RedLine Corvette car show.

PS: Maverick, sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your pet, but everyone knows it was that freak Kansas wind that did Toto in.

I'd open the hood for a picture, but I'm too embarrassed, it's bone stock until I win these. Then I'll show it off!

One has to start somewhere, I am in need of some bling in my engine compartment, I think if I won some caps it would entice me to continue to upgrade under the hood.
Isn't this a sorry engine compartment?

Default Chrome caps = love to have them

OK the truth of the matter is that I would love to have a set (but currently I am devoting my $$$ into getting more HP instead of Bling, and therefore that's why I haven’t bought them).

Now for the good reason to pick me... Well, when I finish doing my cam, head & engine mods; that will get Vette owners coming over (at those GTG) to see car/my engine compartment = free advertisement for your gorgeous chrome caps. See we both win

Hey though...., thanks for your contest

Greg
