Default Vette FRC's Installed

I ordered a set from someone on the boards and got them. They were precut and all. I had a hard time installing them but I bet i could uninstall and reinstall them in like 15 minutes tops now including removing stb. I also did a bit of underhood detailing. They look awesome, something is rattleing but i believe it is my throttle cable as it is just danging, i need to fasten it down to something tomorrow.

Before:

After:


Whatchya think, I think it really cleans up the bay becuase it blocks a lot of the wires and such.
I may at a later time paint it and/or change it to say t/a, but for the time being its staying like this.

Why buy vette covers when you can buy Trans am covers? FRC's are a nice underhood mod, looks good.

There are no TA covers unless you customize them or buy them already customize wich skyrockets their price. I got mine at E-bay already cut, for $75. Customized ones go for $200-300.
