Default Let's see those lids

Anyone who wants to, post up some pictures of your lids. Mine used to say "LS1 Motorsports" but now it's plain black. Plain and boring Need some ideas on how to (tastefully) decorate mine in the future

I was watching some thing on tv that showed cars with paint that had a marble effect, with veins an everything. Might look interesting, don't know how the hell they did it though.

Nothing special, just matches factory paint I guess, never mind the red optima.

the new SLP airlids come stamped with SLP in white. I'm not sure if a decal will go over your lid b/c the SLP is raised.?.?.

Dont feel bad about your plain lid, I think the black is plain, smooth and clean looking.

Great looking engine bays guys, makes me want to spice mine up a little bit more (mine is just Corvette fuel rail covers )

Diolar Magnum: Where did you get that red filter? Do they make one like that in red that you are aware of? I will search some and post results here if anybody is interested also

Bird Man: Where did you get those mirror pieces for under the hood? That is really nice
