MSG C5 05-08-2013 07:39 PM

Very nice!

Someone told me that the clear resin that is used over the CF can turn goldish over time due to engine heat. Urban legend?

slvr bulit 05-08-2013 07:49 PM

No positive words brother, big piece of expensive plastic that you will sell in the future. It;s just a big cheesy cover

James2002z06 05-08-2013 10:14 PM

Your bothering me ...Mr .....

Lol , no it's all good man , I've just gone a different way than you ... We are giving a serious thought to upgradeing the motor again .... Or we will just buy a C6 Z

olbear1962 05-08-2013 11:07 PM

Lookin' good James! Doin' Texas Proud !!

Vetteman Jack 05-09-2013 01:04 AM

That is one fine looking cover. :rock:

Johnson 92 05-09-2013 08:07 AM

Looks great!!

I'm not a fan of engine covers. That is what the hood is there to do. However, I like this cover better than the stock fuel rail covers.

I agree and it retains heat....$$ could have been spent towards rear fender flares or a hood.

oldschoolvette 05-09-2013 09:52 AM

:thumbs: A+ looks good nope the clear coat works out

WKMCD 05-09-2013 09:59 AM

Great way to hide all those internal combustion engine bits. :thumbs:

skeeters65 05-09-2013 10:16 AM

any installed pics yet?

OOPs found them..

Siting on the table it looks Stunning!
Not sure about on the car. I think it might be too big and cover too much. But then again thats what it is supposed to do.
Not sure yet..

Blitzkrieg 05-09-2013 10:44 AM

What did this cost you James?

renegad44 05-09-2013 10:47 AM

Too much cover for my engine, it's nice, but I like looking at the engine not a cover.....:thumbs:

James2002z06 05-09-2013 11:09 AM

JW Motorsports 05-09-2013 11:41 AM

Some of these guys just don't get what it takes to get a car where the owner thinks it needs to be ... Just go buy a hood or new rear fenders ....
Lol

Lol

:confused:, but whatever floats your boat.

Those 5 bills could have had much better use elsewhere other than as a heat retentioner. It makes for good eye candy though. :thumbs:

Na4now 05-09-2013 06:03 PM

I understand the ones that don't like covers in general.....BUT I like it! Looks super sharp, and looks like it's well made and painted well. Nice detail to add to your other mods. Very good styling. :)

renegad44 05-09-2013 06:06 PM

Everybody gets beaten over time, including me,(race track of course....:D), but I've also beaten a few cars that looked bad as hell, but nothing under the hood to back it up. I've always said, if you're going to look mean, at least have a bark........if not a bite!! :lol:

If you're into show cars, for trophy's, I understand, no problem :thumbs:.

Just an observation..... :hide: :lol: :cheers:

James2002z06 05-09-2013 06:35 PM

If you'll think for a moment she is stock under the hood

There is a few on here that will disagree with you , I don't talk about my
Cam,Prc heads , 42lb fuel injectors , long tubes , high output fuel pump and oil pump , no since in discussing my 383 cubic inch stroker ... Can I hang with all the guys from Collin County -- nope -- but Red can given hell

James2002z06 05-09-2013 06:37 PM

In fact I can keep going on my N/A 383 stroker but really some of you'll will find flaws in that put up or shut up ....

James2002z06 05-09-2013 06:39 PM

I'm listening ...

zeevette 05-09-2013 06:53 PM

So, now you're mad? Go sit on your motor until you can behave. Just perch on the new lay-z-boy. :D

James2002z06 05-09-2013 06:56 PM

I'm not mad at all ....

Assuming you were to do this, would the C6Z replace your C5Z? I've done so many mods I can't consider that route although I sure would if I could.

James2002z06 05-10-2013 07:05 AM

That's a tuff choice

I guess those remarks are for me.......:rofl:

Disagree with me? Of course they will, most do....:lol: I'm the same, never much mention of what's under my hood, and rarely raise the hood at shows, but than again, I don't enter shows any longer either. I got trophy's and recognition in the beginning, but whiners/losers at shows drew me away from that crowd, now, I go too look, that's it.

Even though my Vette is two-tone paint with it's own characteristics, I like "Sleeper" mode better.....:D

When it comes to engine power, there's always a BIGGER DOG out there waiting to eat your lunch. Been there, done that.

James2002z06 05-10-2013 04:51 PM

Agreed man ...
