My personal tastes run more toward the raw mechanical look. That said I do think it does look really sharp. Being a car guy I can appreciate all tasteful custom touches!!

Thanks. I actually thought about going a more raw route. But saw this cover and had to have it.

Looks good

I have a Coupe 04 CE......that cover looks GREAT. I'm going with the carbon fiber decals look and that cover will carry the carbon fiber theme very well into the engine compartment.
Gotta wait and see if Santa leaves me some $$.

I am giving these CF decals a serious consideration. Not sure I have the patience to do myself.

Thanks

Thanks

The company I purchased the decals is located in Del. The also do installations. I took my time and did plenty of measuring and masking.

How does that cover go on? Does it go over the existing covers or what? By the way it looks awesome! Dennis I will be giving you a call in the near future!

its a 5 minute install
remove your stock FRC's
you have 4 adapters to screw onto the studs on top of the intake
put cover on
use supplied screws to tighten down to adapter
I had another version of this cover on my C5. That was a major paint to install. This is very simple

I will be ready for you
