Default Engine Compartment Tank Covers

I'm looking for the black painted waffle covers for the coolant and washer tanks.
Does anyone know the vendor that sells these?
How is the quality?
Thanks,
Silverbird

You may want to try the parts F/S section.
I saw some silver ones there recently.

very easy to paint yourself just make sure you clean them well when prepping them.

Any idea on where to find a DIY? I'm going to go ahead and assume you have to take these out to paint them (spray paint?). I haven't had my car that long so I'm still getting acquainted with everything. Thanks for any help you can give!

Its very simple actually just simply take them of and paint mask the lower part and spray after prepping, take your time and do lite coats. did it in my driveway with a spray can.

The red car has 98,000 miles on it, this is my new project 2002 with 11k

performance upgrades done now it time to get to this
