Engine covers

I will be cutting these tomorrow for a client. They will mount to the plastic engine cover as a dress up. They will be color filled black to match the exterior color of the vehicle.

I also have a guy that wants some third gen camaro hood inserts with a design on them, possibly flames on polished aluminum.


Opinions welcome.

Re: Engine covers

I'll get some pics when they get installed. It will be a couple of days since they are being color filled.


We are going to put flames on a guys intake plenum with a mirror polish.

Re: Engine covers

These were just finished. They haven't been filled yet, the client seen them and is undecided. They really like this look.

The decision to fill with black has been made, so the process has begun. They will be finished and installed by the weekend, so I'll get pics then.

They will just mount onto the plastic engine cover, they aren't for a thirdgen, but another vehicle. We are doing a thirdgen plenum though.
We are also doing flames on 85 Z28 hood inserts and a plate for a TA that surrounds the hood latch. The TA piece will have the phoenix on it.

The bird logo is the phoenix. Yes, we can put it on just about anything.

Here is one we made a plaque out of a while back.
