Caps and Covers!
Wanted to submit some pics of my engine. Dream Package by Ed of Pipedreams. Ed is also doing my hood liner. Chrome letters by Greg at GS Creations and the fuel rails were designed by myself and painted by my friend Richard. I love working on this car. Thanks to all for the good work. Hope my forum brothers and sisters like it.

Used the same chrome letters from GS, went with an anodized smoke color on my MSM.
Red is really a nice contrast with the MSM

When I see these engine compartments I am truely amazed at how beautiful they are - I can't help but wonder about what will become of this beauty when it has 75K or 100K miles on it. I see a vision of an old lady in pumps and a prom dress

Thanks!
RBYCC, I really love your covers and thats where the two tone idea came from. Great Job by the way.
humvet, I think you have a valid point. Thats why I save all my OEM parts and buy new ones to modify just in case I feel that way. I also must remember a future buyer may not like mods?
xlr8rvette, Don't know yet as my friend has not given me his bill, but a safe guess would be a little less than a grand so far on mods.
jnx911, Man you got a sharp eye! Since I bought the C6 I have not spent much time on the C2 but, would be happy to take some pics after work today and post. Is that OK on the C6 forum?
