Default Custom C8 Engine Cover

We just finished up our first c8 engine cover. We should have some installed pics soon. We smoothed out the entire cover to give it a high gloss versus the stock cover. In addition we have made our own custom plates to replace the existing corvette logo on each side to give us options as to what the customer wants airbrushed. The possibilities are endless. Lastly we smoothed out the emblem in the rear of the cover and airbrushed the cross flags with the appropriate colors.
These colors can also be done any way you would like.
We are currently in process of redoing our website and should have additional pics and pricing soon.

Looks great Pete. Good to see you getting onboard with the C8. You took measurements off my early C7 for your C7 custom accessories. I thought that C7 was great but my C8 is even better. Looking forward to pics of more of your custom work!

Here is the cover installed. It looks better than even the picture shows. The blue matches the interior perfectly - great work Pete!
