If I sent you my stock FRC (98) in black what could you do? I really like this as it really makes a statement without screaming. Quality, creativity, style, and it creates some interest on a typically boring piece of plastic under the hood. Great Job.

Will you take an order for mine? How much? Time? I think Black with Grey Skulls would be awesome. PM me if you like.

WOW! Thank you for all of your kind words. It's very flattering.

As for taking orders or doing the same for other members, I just did these for myself for now. This was a first attempt and I need to see how well the painted covers will hold up with the paint I used. Our engine bays get quite hot so I want to be sure I get them completely sorted out. If they hold up and I do decide to offer a service to other members it will be awhile down the road and I would go the proper way and have to become a forum vendor. Again, thank you all for the compliments.

Add another one to the no-skull fan club! But your work is amazing! I love it when people can appreciate the work even if it's not to their taste!
