Dressing up the engine bay... pics please
Hey guys, I want to dress up my CE vert engine bay with some CF (on the plenum, wheel wells, and other parts) and paint my FRC and other stuff like the radiator shroud LeMans Blue. I've seen pics before but can't find them in a search. Can you all post some pics (of any cover that resemble this scheme).
Also, I was wondering what the best way to do this. My friend is an slightly more than novice painter and is itching to help me out. Do they sell a lettering kit so that I can keep the CORVETTE on the FRC's black? Thanks guys

The carbon fiber is an overlay type for the inner wheel well and plenum.
As for the letters they are ACRYLIC letters and pinstripes from ZIP

Rob - You're killing me with all these mods! It makes me feel like it's okay to just keep spending money on mods. Thanks bro! Good to know I'm not alone
I can't wait to see the pix when you're done ... will you ever be done is the question.
