Looks photoshopped. The logo does not look right to me.

Also, stupid.

That is a different look. I am not sure why you would hide the frunk. Hide your junk at car shows? I could see that. I am glad you like it.

It's usually for car shows. I actually like it!

If the purchaser is happy, then whatever anyone else here thinks is 100% irrelevant. We all buy items to "dress up" our cars

Curious why some guys open the frunk at car shows? I get the trunk covers that hide the goods when the hatch is open but I just don’t understand why the frunk would be open?

I'm so glad the tasteful giant *** logo is included...

In case you know... you forget what car it goes to.

The cover isn't "horrible" but I would probably not have put Chevy logo on it as there is already one right there on the front. If I did put a logo on the cover, it would be Jake.

Bottom-line is, you like it. Enjoy.

i guess i didn't drink my haterade for the day, but i can dig the look. Not something I'd do personally, but I can see why someone would and good on you for making your car the way you want.
