I like them! I don't have any myself but I have been looking into getting some. I think you will like them a lot better once they've been painted.

I think you should keep them... maybe consider painting them to match your lid (white letters on black field) instead of arctic white.

i dont think they will look good white, my car is white and i had that idea ,but a photoshop changed my mind, do what you like,they will look better black with white ,silver,red,etc letters, and easier to clean which may be a concern for you lol

I think you have to be careful with white. With the heat under the hood, some white things tend to discolor.

Myself, I've never eally cared for the covers on Camaro's/TA's. I just don't think they look right.

I don't see why you'd put Vette covers on a non Vette car...but that's just me.

FRCs look alright, but I would shave the "Corvette". Just my personal opinion.

today, the show horsepower did a good example of shaving emblems. If you were serious about this, do it right the first time. get rid of the corvette stickers then sand it all down, epoxy in the holes, sand that smooth, then bondo to get a perfectly smooth finish, paint the covers of your color choice and then put your trans am decals on..If you go that route, i would match the slp lid to the same color to your FRC's

edit: cool thought might be to paint your STB white, and do all the covers gloss black with white emblems. It would look pretty nice in my opinion!

Clear coat after paint, then decals on, then clear coat again. Wet sand and your good to go.

Are you not proud of your coil packs? I say leave the covers off and detail the entire area!
