Purple......What color car are they going on? I kind of like purple too. Mine are just black with stainless letters and such so no need to post a picture of them.

It's funny I don't know Vetteman Jack or 8vette7 outside of the forum, but I wouldn't have picked out those engine bays for you two guys....I like them, they just seem a little bold for guys that seem to be sorta reserved... I dig it
I would have expected flames and skulls from Neutron's... go figure... I guess you can't judge a vette owner by his fuel rail covers...or lack there of LOL

Sometimes it's the reserved guys that you have to watch out for. When it comes to things for my car, I do tend to go for more of a bold statement.

I've never been a fan of showing off the plastic, so I tried to make mine look like cast aluminum and it sorta worked.

All I can say is "WOW"

All of those look F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C

I would be embarrassed to open my hood with you guys around.

Sanded down the 5.7 and lines on mine then painted silver with blue letters. I originally clear coated them, but must have gone too heavy and it yellowed over time. The installed pics are the second time around sans clear coat.

When first done


On the car now


Thanks to 91LSMAN, I'm now constantly thinking about the inner fender liners.

Gotta say, the purple looks nice...but I'm not digging the idea of these mixed with Lemans Blue and Silver. Guess I need to see it all together in the final pics.
