nah im not gona get the ones with the vette logos on em that would be like that guy that had that V6 hawk. but anyways i was thinking of getting the carbonfiber ones and there just plain carbo fiber no logos or anything and taking a trans am sticker (one big enough for the covers) applying it to the covers and painting them silver with the sticker still on and then once the paint dries taking the stickers off and it would have trans am in carbon fiber. or getting the unpainted fiber glass covers and painting them silver and have trans am in black, or laying them side by side and painting them silver and have someone paint the bird on them and it would be the bird in half with my intake in the middle and then the other half the bird on the other side but what im really wanting to do is the first one or flip the first one and have trans am in silver

yea but if you buy the carbon fiber ones or the fiber glass ones they are like $200 to start and then you are going to sand and paint them

the corvette ones are like $50 for the pair and you sand them and fill in the letters and paint ant save$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well the engine you have is a corvette engine, just not a corvette body. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
