Default My Custom FRC’s

I got my lid back a few weeks ago and posted a pic. Yesterday I got my FRC’s. They are simple, but I like them. I think Parbreak did a nice job.

Parbreak does excellent work. They will look great on your Artic white!

Hint... before you install them, run some duct tape under the part of the cowl that overhangs the engine (bottom side). There are some very sharp points that stick down from that ledge. They can damage your FRC's and cut up your hands.

See arrows in white.
