While not looking for a show quality engine bay I wanted something that more closely matched my newly installed Whipple. My first pass was painting the stock gray covers black. However I left those on my tailgate, never to be seen again.

So I needed a replacement but I didn't really want the automotive grade finish on something like the JLT covers, or the expense. I found a set of GT350 coil covers for $46 on ebay. Then I found these vinyl letters for $25. I was a bit skeptical but it only took my wife about an hour and they came out great.

First pic is my lonely engine bay.
Second pic is halfway through the process
Last pic is the covers done.

Great find Bud!!! Just looked the sellers other items, as I was hoping he sold black. But I couldn’t find any.:doh:

I want to paint my covers white and have all the inlays black. This lettering seems much easier than painting. :shrug:

Got mine from http://www.anchor-room.com/. A slight pain to put on but worth it. They've been on since August '17 and are just not showing signs of trying to peel, but it's barely noticeable.
