Default Engine overlays

I’m interested in hearing from C8 owners who have added Engine Compartment Overlays.

Who did you purchase from and are you satisfied with the fit and finish?

Did you match your exterior color?

TIA

I bought the overlays at this past Carlisle event in August. I bought them in Carbon Flash from ACS. Of the two or three companies selling these, the ones from ACS are the most expensive by far ($1,200). They're very good quality but if I had it to do over again, I would get those that are around $800 from Classic Trim Customs.

When I bought them in August 2024, I had no idea I would trade in my 2020 Coupe for a 2025 HTC, due in 5-8 weeks. Oh well...

I appreciate your response, the ACS overlays have an option for mag ride struts which I have.
I don’t see that option with Classic Trim Customs.

I’m also thinking of going with the Carbon Flash. I feel like it would be my best option to go with exterior Matrix Gray and the other Carbon Flash trim.

If you don’t mind share a pic of the ASC overlays.

thanks

I traded the car in and don't have any pictures. Sorry. RPI also has an option.

Another Vote for AGM ....... I installed mine in May of 2021 and they still look like brand new. Also bought their vented triangle pieces that are next to them as the GM set that I ordered with the car have a Gold-ish tint to them so I sold the GM set and bought a replacement set from AGM. I also bought their other engine bay corner pieces..... both the flat ones next to the window as well as the vertical triangle pieces at the edges of the window.

Yours looks fantastic! That’s what I want to accomplish with my engine bay. My carbon fiber vent covers also have a gold tint to them which just doesn’t look right.

What is the clear bubble piece in the trunk wall?

^^^ The clear bubble is part of my Carbon Fiber Eventuri Intake. It bolts in exactly where the factory black plastic cover was. You have to cut a hole out in the carpet, and you do lose a little bit of trunk space.

If you look in the lower left corner of the photo below, you will see the ugly factory air box. The Eventuri is more efficient, adds about 17 to 18 more HP.

Here's the Intake.....

Some pieces are nearly 4 years old and still look like new. I did ceramic coat the parts prior to installing.

our cover is universal, in otherwords they fit both mag ride and non mag ride.
