Default CTS-V Carbon Fiber Bonanza!

Check out the Carbon under the hood! Whee!





As you can see, intake cover and STB both in real CF. The intake cover is form LS1 member ~JOSHUA, and the STB is from GM Accessories.

I'm thinking about putting a Cadillac Wreath & Crest on the flat part over the throttle body. What do you guys think?

I think ya better spend some more time on the 'fuel rail covers' now that you've cut it all up.

Haha...

I forgot to mention that those are temporary. I have a set of ZO6 FRCs that I'm painting black and filling in the "Corvette" lettering on. I just hate exposed coil packs and Fuel rails, so I chopped that stock cover up for the time being.

damn that looks nice, and im glad you are NOT using CF FRCs, that would be too gawdy. its just enough cf to make it look classy.

and yes, put a wreath on that flat part, especially after you put on the new FRCs. not that i think about it, but wreaths on the FRCs and a V logo on that flat part.

Very nice Tony!

Please update this thread when you get the FRC's on there.

If you need help with anything let me know.

Put the wreath and cresent on the flat part like you're thinking.

On the FRCs, I wouldnt do ANYTHING besides put Cadillac script and the V logo. THAT would accent PERFECTLY with that engine bay! Really slick.

Tony, I know where you can get gelcoat FRC's ready to scuff and paint. Then you wont have to dick with filling the Corvette ones. I believe they cost $200...

later, ~J
