Default Custom FRC

I decided to try my hand at shaping a set of FRC's. I have the driver's side almost done and I thought I'd get some opinions before I paint them as to what color, graphics, etc. And how it looks so far in general. Be honest...

Match them to the color of your car or engine bay

They're alright, I think they are a little big, but maybe that's just the picture being close up. Overall nice, but I agree to go with engine bay color. Looks like that would be NBM?

You're right, the picture doesn't do them justice (plus they're blurry). The second pic is more proportionate than the first. Maybe that happened when I scaled the pics down to get under 100k.

They're not really bigger than the factory covers. They just hang down in the front more in order to cover better. When I saw Vette covers on a F-Body they looked odd since the motor sits so far back. You could see under them. On a Vette you can't stand in front of the motor since the hood opens forward.

And yes, it's NBM.

Its a great idea, but it needs more curvature? Looks like a fast food tray to me...

Can I take your order?

I had a hard enough time banging those curves in...

I need to come up with a cool design for that flat part. Any suggestions?

I have no idea what you're talking about...



I think I might scrap this design...
