Default Made Custom head plate covers

Got bored with a Plasma and a file so I decided to make some head plate covers...and there was NO way I was gonna pay $100-$125 to order some online....

They are Black with Red decals but the lighting kinda made them look weird I will get better pics tomorrow...

Thanks guys

I did the dead sad faces because the main point of the plates were to cover the front of the heads for the local crowd so I though the sad faces were funny..

My alt is mounted low on the passenger side you can see the bracket in the pic

Ya if you could find the bolt size that would be great. I will try to take some measurement of the jead and inter into cad and have a plasma cam cut it. I might start selling stuff like this.

Looking at that engine bay, I think it would be the least of their worries as to what kind of heads you were running.
