Default My Custom Air Lid

Got it back from Parbreak today. Still waiting on my FRC’s. It is simple, but I like it.

'They' will make you anything you want. Just contact 'them'.

It'll look much better after installation with the frc's, ...

Take your own lid, paint it, decal it, paint clearcoat, & voila', yer done!

Looks good, but it looks like it is going to be a pain in the butt to keep clean

Maybe, but I have not daily driven my car yet, so upkeep has been minimal. I am still deciding on whether to paint my lower airbox assembly and intake manifold Arctic White or some “glossy” black. Keeping it clean should not be too bad if I continue to reserve it for a fair weather vehicle.

That looks really great! Bryan always does great work.


I did my own lid a couple weeks ago. Painted it to match the theme I already had on my FRC's. Now I'm just waiting on a CE badge and a custom Ram Air decal to finish the look.

I am sure Parbreak appreciates everyone’s' compliments. I think he does nice work.

Yes. The FRC's will be simple, also: white with black "Trans Am" and "5.7L" details.

I am still debating the extent of engine bay appearance mods. I am not certain if I want to do anything with the valve covers, cylinder heads, timing cover, belt tensioner, water pump, etc. I cannot justify the expense of farming much if any of the additional work out. I will have to spend some time looking at the engine bay, and determine what warrants my time and effort.

Very nice results.

Please don't paint the lower airbox white. Trust me. Gloss black or nothing.
