This looks really nice. In line with what I'm thinking minus the plenum cover. Good stuff!

That's a nice option Dennis. Where did you get your smooth fluid tank covers? Do you sell those?

Cool, was actually thinking about putting some smooth covers on mine, I like the look.


Maybe it's just me but I couldn't find the gel coat fiberglass ones on your website?

Dennis,
Do you sell the one piece FRC covers? If so what is the price to have them painted and shipped?

I read some earlier comments that some CF engine parts yellow over time due to the engine heat effect on the resin/clear.

I want a chrome intake cover like these but I saw on one of the web sites that it said it didn't fit a Z06. Which one fits a Z06?
