I just got mine in yesterday there not on the car but theyre from Spohn they are really well built. However just to give you some other choices Spohn, UMI, And BMR are all very reputable companies. My SFC's were 199.99 without the red powder coating since I'm painting the underside of my car I didnt see a point

Great looking car, and a Great engine. My first Camaro was a 87 Z-28, and it too had a 454 in it. The car ran well and handled great. It didn't drive fast, it flew low. LOL
While I didn't race it, it was all high perfomance parts underneath the hood. it hugged the corners at high speed, ( whenever I Did tap the gas pedal ), it was Very dependable, it never let Me down, and how I miss that car today. My only gripe about it was, it was Very Thirsty. But otherwise it handled like a Dream.
I now own My second 3 gen Camaro, a 92 RS with a 3.1L in it. It's a work in process, it runs and drives, pretty much everything works on it but it does need a little work done to it.
Best wishes with your can. Looking good there. *S*

Wow, a very clean installation. Looks like that big block was designed to fit in there.
