Default PICS of NEW FRC's!

Just got these installed today and love them. Yes, i know they have "Corvette" on them but this style of cover only comes that way. I really like them and were easy to install

Nice looking layout ya got going there, ...
Yea, it'd be nice if they read 'Chevrolet' instead, but I don't think that's an option is it?

No, Camaro/Chevrolet lettering was not an option. The covers are what I wanted--notice I did not take a poll of what others thought i should get--got what I wanted!! I am man enough to do what i want and not let others influence what i do to MY car. If I did that then everyone would be driving the same **** that looked alike. Next time, before I mod i will take a poll and go with what EVERYBODY has so we can ALL be just alike LOL

Like my fuel gas cap in billet. Ive learned that when you start to get a lot of haters you are probably in the right track....Those are the same guys who think only GM or Vette wheels should be used....you know what i mean...

Good for you man, I hate all those "what should I get" polls.

As for the covers, you better be prepared to explain to people that you didn't swap a "Corvette Engine" into it. They look pretty good, not my cup of tea though. Looks pretty damn clean under the hood. Don't mind the haters they are probably mad theirs doesn't look as good.

I think it looks kinda classy. A LOT of red there, though. the engine itself though looks pretty cool going red/black/red/black/red/black/red

I tried to balance the red and black without having too much of one or the other. Took it to a car show tonight and got a lot of positive comments. The car is not a daily driver and i do not race it. It basically goes to car shows and gets driven a couple of times a month. I figured I might as well dress up the engine since people see it.

Kicks...looks like they came out phucking sweet! Makes the engine area look awsome. Color matching is off the hook! Waiting does pay off sometimes, doesn't it. Glad I was able to help.


And as a side comment, don't even let Odar's gay-*** as comment influence your decision. I mean, we all don't wanna be loser-*** wanna-be-followers like him and not do stuff that's different and still cool. I mean, look how long it took for rice-rockets to break away from only putting on those big-*** coffee-can exhaust tips!

And as far as looks go, how many times have we heard people telling others how cool their new SS hood looks on their car...a Z28! OR their 6-cyl.?!

And as far as looking odd, cheesy, or flamin', it's funny that most of those people (if not all) don't (or won't dare) post up pic of their cars. You know, like the ones with poorly-matched colored wire looms running all over their engine bay, or the ones that add neon lights whre there was not attempt to even try to hide them from sight, or look like they just bought it from the junk yard, with the engine area lookin' as dirty and grimy as phuk! Yeah, sure...talk chit you pansies!

Good job!

...? Dude, what the hell is even the point of typing that crap just to say, "JUST KIDDING TEEHEE" Damn... Anyway, I think it looks pretty damn good. Obviously you were gonna have to do black/red in there, there's not really any other color you can do!
