Default Engine Bay Panels

Someone mentioned this company several weeks ago, but the post seems to have disappeared. Anyway, I received these today and the fitment is great. Sorry for the pictures...I live in an apartment and there's not much natural light in the parking garage today. My engine cover is edge red to match the valve covers and I requested the panels in edge red as well. They're powder coated so they may not look exactly the same, but they look to match pretty well so far, not to mention my engine cover is dusty and the panels are brand new and glossy.

I also got the hood prop for car shows, etc.

I bought the same ones . I just got mine yesterday. Haven't put mine on yet waiting for new cover to arrive on Monday. I guess it's not special now.

I was thinking the same thing....I'll be special for a while until these catch on. I've been eyeballing a set of black slotted covers for a while, but never bought them. Then when I saw these I jumped on them right away. They're a steal for the price IMO.

What color did you get, and what color is your new engine cover?

I have a feeling this post will be deleted. You posted a non vendor info.

That's probably why the last one was deleted then. That tells me that our vendors need to step it up or be willing to accept competition!

I like the engine bay all black except for the red engine cover. It looks too busy with the red on both sides of the red engine.

Yeah, I could've picked any color but wanted edge red. The added red offsets all the black plastic, and there's still way more black plastic than there is red, so I think it's well-balanced.

First time I have seen side panels that look like that - looks very good. Some bling in the engine bay really draws attention to that area.
