I have a number of pieces from Kewl Auto out of Seattle (radiator shroud, fuel rail covers, plenum cover, coolant tank cover, windshield washer tank cover and fuse box cover). They are excellent pieces and the color matches the car very well. Go to www.kewlauto.com and check out the prices. Many of the forum vendors sell these items too (Mid-America, Ecklers, West Coast Corvettes)

mike76002 advertised here that he was going to be selling customized fuel rail covers for $150 soon. The pictures he had at the time were very interesting and I've been waiting to see what he comes up with. If they look as good as the first samples I saw, they were beautiful and much less expensive than most of the packages. They'd be a great way to start dressing up that engine bay.

I like the carbon-fiber touch,I saw the painted inner fender wheel well covers and liked them but thought it might be to much silver under there,the carbon-fiber would look great with the silver too,thanks for the photos and the tips,oh yea-where did you get the carbon-fiber wheel wells?
