Default Vette FRC's Installed

I ordered a set from someone on the boards and got them. They were precut and all. I had a hard time installing them but I bet i could uninstall and reinstall them in like 15 minutes tops now including removing stb. I also did a bit of underhood detailing. They look awesome, something is rattleing but i believe it is my throttle cable as it is just danging, i need to fasten it down to something tomorrow.

Before:

After:


Whatchya think, I think it really cleans up the bay becuase it blocks a lot of the wires and such.
I may at a later time paint it and/or change it to say t/a, but for the time being its staying like this.

Fill 'em, paint 'em and customize the lettering a bit and they'll look

It really unclutters thing in the engine bay. Great work!! After I installed the I had to great major surgey to my hands! LOL!! Im thinking too of customizing them later.



You dont know the amount of people that looks at the engine at shows and their faces change trying to figure out what that Corvette engine is doing there!! Even some car guys have said..."wow, great custom installation!!, was it hard??..."

Why buy vette covers when you can buy Trans am covers? FRC's are a nice underhood mod, looks good.

There are no TA covers unless you customize them or buy them already customize wich skyrockets their price. I got mine at E-bay already cut, for $75. Customized ones go for $200-300.
