Default Customized My Engine Bay

Lol thought I'd share some pics of some of the custom engine cover stuff i did for my c7's engine compartment as a bit of a summer project thought it turned out really good! I bought the other aftermarket covers on amazon cheap for like $20 or something but they were anodized red so I refinished them in velocity yellow and added some black on the borders to spice things up a bit lol also did line tuck kit to clean up the vacuum lines

​​​​​​​Thanks! And I'm pretty sure they're all the same, but I think I did americancarcraft but they're nothing fancy they have you reuse the factory connector/end pieces and basically just give you precut hose and a video guide

Thanks the hardest part was trying to get the black edges straight/consistent on the main middle cover (tried tape at first but wasn't clean enough so went over tape edges by hand and the black corvette text also by hand and then buried it all under 2k clear coat
