Default New FRC :)
these came in a couple weeks ago.. decided to post some pics, let me know what you think
They were custom painted light carmine red metallic (98-99 i believe vette color). They are pretty awesome, i think it will clean up the engine bay a lot along with painting the intake gloss black over the winter (griff if you are still interesed..)
thanks for looking
