I'm not a fan of the tupperware engine hiders GM slaps on its motors these days, but if you are going to have covers, your CF units look 100x better!

Pete at Showstoppers did these. The fuel rail covers are black with silver and gold airbrushing. The plenum if carbon flash. This is on a black Z51.

You installed floor mats front and back?! I didn't know we had a back?!

your engine covers look nice. Maybe a picture of your rear mats.

That explains it!! A trunk mat, I was thinking floor mats and wondered about a rear seat with a floor to put a mat on. I guess since my car is a convertible I don't have a space, in the back, that big.

All your stuff looks really nice. I did my engine compartment with stainless steel from American Car Craft. That took a a while to install.

That blue color really pops!! For a poor man's job it looks good to me.

Very nice, is that a new hood liner or and add-on to the factory hood liner? And where did you get it?
