Default Custom fuse box cover

Okay, just put on my custom fuse box covers I ordered from Yofab (Specialized Stainless). Now, the stock piece is very nice, but I wanted something that was a little more customized. So, I sent them my prototype piece, and they fabbed it, then powder-coated it. Came out great!!! Next, I plan to do make a cover for the other side.

Some say, "Why dress up the engine bay?" To which many people answer, "Why not?"

stock piece




custom piece





Once again, Steve...excellent work!

That looks pretty good. Cleans up the engine bay. Do you have pics of the whole engine bay? From what i can tell from those, you have a real nice looking engine bay.

Looks really good. Thanks for actually posting more pics. I think your engine bay looks better than most of the "chromed up" ones. Everything just flows and matches. Makes me wanna go outside and mess with mine some

Funny you should mention that. I should be getting back this piece by Thursday or Friday.

Here's a pic of the original mock-up I made. The final one I sent to the guys over at EmblemPros extends over the coolant cap area.


I'm expecting something great since the fuse box cover came out so nice!
