let me know what ya think.......

[beckybun]

wow! that's very cool :)

[Refuse Winst]

I'm generally not a fan of those covers, but that looks awesome! In most of the angles the flames look real as hell. I love it.

[TA^Guy]

Well it wasjust gloss black until he stood too close to the exhaust manifold after eatting the beans and hotdogs from the BBQ. lol

[ihatemygrandamg]

that is absolutely amazing. Only 2 things to make your engine bay perfect- HEADERs AND SC!!!!!

[ManktheTank19]

That looks sweet :)

[FusionDreams]

Nice! How much did that cost you?

[The Artist]

you should DEFINITELY take off the stickers on your shock tower

[Dave C]

it looks great Jay! I agree with removing the stickers, but its your car and your call... the only thing I can think of that you can add are those chrome billet caps...

[jordanGT]

That's the only engine cover I've seen that I like. The custom paint just makes it work. It looks really cool.

[nice96gt]

looks hot Jay :thumbup2:

[Gt1panthergirl]

Looks amazing!! Where can you buy those covers? By the way, your car is sweeeet! Great job :thumbup2:

[wiseojelly]

love it

[XoticGA]

I wondered whos car that was on.. I'm glad that the yellow's gone :D

[levey]

Looks awesome.

[gerald]

:drool: awesome work man.

[96GreenGaGT]

i like the paint job. i also like the carbon fiber resivour cover as well. though i think it would look much better if the whole tank was carbon fiber. or at least paint the bottom part black. not like you can see the coolant anyways. i can't on mine anyways. lol.

[Tuny]

Fantastic!!! No more words!!!

[GTSpeeder]

I can't imagine y u wouldn't have won. That paintjob is badass! Wanna do my 3.1? Lol.

['96GAGT]

Damn shame that they dont have a cover for out 3100's.. anyway looking good man. Congrats on the win.

[Chain]

I like it.

[blackgt2k]

the paint job was $300. I am thinking about removing the decals on the strut towers, though I havent gotten around to it. thanks everyone for your comments

[Bouchie11982]

this cover is simply amazing in the sunlight. the picture doesnt do any justice (IMO) but in the sun it brings it all out, it's one of those must-see-in-person. there are also blue flecs in it. that's another nice part about it :)

[XoticGA]

$300? Good christ..

[Bouchie11982]

^^ yea but well worth it honestly :)

[Old Guy]

Amazing!! The flames almost look real!! :thumbup2:

[ga5speed02]

looks sweet

[blackgt2k]

yea for $300 they better look real, otherwise id be taking it back to him. I can defintely say that it is an eye turner. I was at the eastern regionals in RI this past weekend, and almost everyone who walked by my car did a double take and turned around to look. Im very happy with how it turned out.

[96GreenGaGT]

300 bucks for a custom paint job isn't too bad. some people charge more and do lesser quality work. some charge less and do better work. but it seems like you got your money's worth.

one of these days i'll get around to doing my own airbrushing. lol

[ntl5002]

That is freaking sick!

[BQfromNY]

blackgt2k - you have mail :)

[slowbird]

Old-ish post and off topic but....

What the hell is that round thing and that metal pipe. My 3400 doesn't have that.

[Big Joe]

its was put on almost all 00 grand ams, IIRC it has somthing to do with emmisions.

[slowbird]

I don't have it....only model year 2000 Grand Am's?

[Bouchie11982]

it had to do with the California smog emissions or something like that.

[LittleWhiteGT]

WOW, thats bad ass!

[blackgt2k]

no actually that the EGR valve and pipe. the emissions thing is to the left of that valve.

[slowbird]

odd...



Anyways....that engine cover is Baddass!

[pyro]

you should get a HO alternator powdercoated blue, teh hotness.

[Vhrus]

Looks to nice to hide under the hood!
Almost seems out of place, like it should be ontop of the hood not under it ;)

[SeDaN]

i like that paint job alot, and i love your carbon fiber covers as well

Was thinking the same thing. It looks so real, especially in the pics that are a little further away. Crazy!

[blackgt2k]

just remember that if you buy them from RKsport, they are not for a grand am, you have to look in the sunfire section....only the battery and the surge tank fit our cars....
