Default Engine Bay Spruce-up Pics

I finally installed my underhood dress up pieces. I went with a combo of carbon fiber and painted. The pictures aren't the greatest but you get the idea. Positive or negative feedback would be appreciated.





EDIT-FINISHED 10/13/04 Added FRC detail:

I bought the CF pieces used from a forum member so I'm not sure who made them but the painted pieces came from vetteshop. Yes, the hoodliner is a "Paula masterpiece" (copied from one she originally did for Norm Frenette).

I like what you've done Ken. I really looks Great! I have one comment though. Maybe you could highlight the letters C-O-R-V-E-T-T-E on the fuel rail covers in carbon fiber or black. That hood liner is really awesome too.

Does anyone sell vinyl decals that fit the fuel rail covers? I don't trust myself to try to paint them.

Thanks, Ken
