Nice Pat.

Any plans to offer a real CF laminate windshield cowl? Something that matches your real CF fender covers, battery den cover and fuel rail covers?

Those parts look very good - some serious bling for the car.

I am not a huge CF fan and think too much chrome can be too much so when i saw the black Chrome I thought it looked amazing.

Nice work. I will have to think about dressing my engine up with that.

Good stuff Pat, I got the chrome intake cover from Pat and get alot of compliments on it , unlike some others out there this one covers the throttle body as well and gives a clean look.

Just to jump in here......you did not get the black chrome from my company. Sorry to hear that you had issues. We stand behind every product no matter how long you have it.

So, do you warranty against tarnish/discoloration on the chrome and black chrome underhood parts you sell?

There are no specific links to these products and I couldn't find them with a diligent search on your website.
Are you really interested in selling these products? <g>

I bought mine from a different vendor and I am not happy with it. My FRCs do not snap in, and the front has rubbed off and has a small crack in it do to hitting the underside of the hood liner, and it scratches very easily. I spoke with the vendor and he tried to tell me that I installed it wrong! Here are some pics!

I hope this plennum cover is designed better than the one I have?
