Default Kickin' it up a notch with a NEW ENGINE BAY SURROUND!
This new cover will be available painted body color, satin black or dipped hydrocarbon. Powder Coating will be an option also. List $995.00 Delivered.
Waterjet cut from 1/8" 5052 Aluminum. This strong lightweight panel adds stiffness and diverts the heat away from the trunk and out the vents.
The cover bolts on to existing hardware and takes 5 minutes to install. Getting a group buy together so stay tuned!

Very cool concept. What does it look like with the hood (?) hatch closed?

What is it about corvettes that attract these horrible modifications? No, just no.

Seems like it just allows less air to move away form the engine and without runners of some sort I don't see how it would divert heat.

Any recommendations on how to season that grill? How long will a brisket take?

Chrome it and try offering a free pair of new balance. Might get two takers then.

Or just get glasses.

Not a fan of this. It looks like a big chunk of metal. Something with more dimension might look better. Something like the NSX.
