Default Engine bay updates - CF caps and cowl
I took some quick pics last night after getting my engine caps back from Pat (flasunshine1). I really like the look. I put the cowl and wiper arms on a couple of weeks ago. I will have to get some better pictures with some outside lighting and a little cleaning.

Very nice! Is that an intake cover that you tape onto the intake or an actual intake that went through the hydrocarbon process? I thought I saw both types for sale.

The intake cover is a carbon fiber cover that is bolted on top of the intake.

I like the color combination and its progress to date. Painting the stripes and the 5.7L on the FRC's would make it look even better.
