Default Zip products

Wanting to dress up the engine compartment. FRC's. Plenum etc.
Lots of painted products out there but noted above forum vendor has some Stainless Steel stick on covers for the fuel rails, plenum and lower FR covers. A good start for me but have seen nothing as to others that may have tried these products.
Anybody??

haven't tried any, but I do know this from previous cars. Stainless steel under the hood is a nightmare to keep scratch-free. It seems if you just look at it you will get a scratch....it's just too perfect of a finish for that area. When you wipe dirt and grit off, it will leave a scratch. There may be ways to avoid this, but be prepared for tons of maintenance.

Zip is a great bunch of folks. They are a local shop for me so I guess I might be kind of bias, but with that said I feel you can't go wrong with Zip. Great customer service. Just my .02 cents

I like their products. I have not purchased from them. It's good to get a local point of view from Papas.

I agree!

They aren't quite local for me, but I've been going to their shop for almost ten years, because they have always treated me right. They can handle anything, from a T shirt purchase, to an emergency tire replacement, to replacing an engine (they have done all these, and more, for me).
