Steve, your engine bay looks ****** awesome man!! Every time I see it, you've done something else!! I love the FRCs, and the painted FIPK!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Now all you need is a painted intake manifold!!

I will see if I can put something together..

Thanks for the Compliment Jack <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'm ready to start making those FRC decals now. I'll probably be selling them through Afterthoughts Auto so keep your eyes on the website. How about a dashplate? Those will be available soon as well.
