Default New Engine Covers

I have tried many vendors for painted engine parts and over time, they end up peeling or cracking. After looking into new methods, these seem to work really well. The finish is very durable and is clear coated. So far, it has been flawless and the finish is amazing. Looks really good with the A&A SC

Sweet, great combo with the exterior color.

Are these covers available in natural carbon fiber color. Where did you get them?
