Hmmm, all ya need now is a new paint job and it would be perfect!! LOL

But besides that, I wonder if there are any valve covers that would fit this set-up.

I find it interesting though that your running the stock air intake on this.

Congrats on the supercharger!

I just wish they could make it fit under a stock hood for those of us wanting a stock appearance.....

Please post a pic when you get them on. Love the look of this settup.

Question: is there any deflection on the hood scoop to keep water from coming right in. I can't tell from the pics.

The hood scoop opening has a "screen" in front to keep out bugs?
Water would probably find it's way in,but I don't drive much in the rain!
Thank you for your compliment!

I am doing the same thing to my auto on Saturday with 21st Century. I have a C6 Yellow as well and am doing the same hood. Did those guys blend the paint? Also, what kind of power are you getting?
