Default Custom C8 Engine Cover

I recently purchased a custom engine cover from American Hydrocarbon. I talked to the owner Pat Scorzetti on the weekend and had my cover by the following Friday. It was exactly what he and I discussed on the phone and is flawlessly done and looks great on my engine. The cover is much nicer than what GM offers. I did order the Engine Appearance Package with the car and the cover blends in well with it.

That cover really looks good. Pat does great work and you have good taste in mods for your carr.

I purchased mine from Pat in early 2021 to my specific color scheme….I believe it’s still on AHC website as a sample. We spoke for at least 30 minutes on the phone when I placed the order and it turned out fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again from Pat (and I did, 5VM spoiler).

Thanks. I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted and Pat Corsettii was very helpful in finalizing my selection.

^^^ Look for AmericanHydrocarbon.

I like both the examples in pics on this thread. Very well done. I also think that after watching American Hydro for many years, and seeing the satisfied customers and their describing the conversations with the owner, this is a good vendor.

Well done by American Hydrocarbon and the customers are satisfied! That's a match.
