Radiator Cover

My carbon fiber radiator cover is now complete with a new custom "Build Info" Decal. I had one on my old cover but had to have a new one made for the new c/f cover!! I think it turned out well! It only took 3 1/2 months to get it. I first ordered it from SVT Customs but never got anything but promises and lies. Finally, had to do a chargeback and re-order. Here is how it looks:

My GF "owes" me a gift and I'm teetering between this or a nice PSP powdercoated power pipe (holy tonguetwister batman).

How was the initial fit? Looks good.,

Thanks Typhoon43! The fit was a little more difficult since there are no "boxes" in which to install the decal as on the factory cover. By using soapy water the decals can be manipulated until they dry.

All those pieces look great! Where did you get all the carbon fiber goodies?

Thanks, LightningSVT! I got all the c/f from DGMotorsports.com including the front bumper cover and dash kit.

Very Nice Eds 01

I bought one from SVT Customs 3 yrs ago and wanted another one for a new project. But after hearing sooooo many bad things concerning said vendor, I gave up. I might have to look back into doing some things, now that they are available again

Yea, Fast Gater, I bought my first one from SVT Customs a couple of years ago along with other things...so went back to him for a replacement even though I had heard some bad things....all of which turned out to be true!! I don't know what happened to him! He used to do got work and was reliable but that changed for some reason!
