Default New engine part covers.

Wanted to post a pic of whole engine. Pat at American Hydrocarbon hooked me up. Can't wait to start the interior.

Sorry it took so long to reply I work offshore and have been busy. It's Shark Grey. I am going to get two of the emblems turned the other way. I will post new pics when I get them back. I also have a prosthetic leg, Pat at American Hydrocarbon is going to match my carbon fiber leg cover with my engine covers, lol. That's gonna be bad-***, can't wait. I will post pics when I get it.
