I just received my cover from vice^grip this morning, al I have to say is WOW!!! The finish on the cover is incredible and the flames look great! I would recommend if you have been looking at doing this I highly recommend the cover, and vice^grip is great to deal with too!!

Below is a pic I took in my kitchen I will post some when I put it on my car, but I left it at the other house and will go get it later today.


(Sorry for the glare the lighting is not that great and the lights glared pretty badly)

 

cool..how much did u pay for it?

 

I dont want anyone to get mad if I post pricing, maybe a mod can chime in and say if it is okay?

Thanks

 

Why would anyone get mad? You got a good price on it? Okay, then whats retail?

 

just plain sexy!

 

I paid $225 plus exchange for my unfinished cover. I didn't want to break the rules of the forum with posting pricing.

 

Man, that's cool looking

 

Oh they can do custom colors too..

 

so this is a breand new oem cover?

 

Wow, that thing looks AWESOME!

 

I am not sure if it is "brand new" when you purchase one you have a few options.

1. The one I bought was pre painted, so I am mailing him my engine cover that is in good shape with all the grommets etc.

2. If you have one custom painted I believe they want you to mail them your cover and they will paint it to the colors that you ask for. Then mail it back to you.

 

Ok here it is installed on the car, it is rather cloudy out today.

 

Sweet, neew to have the rest of the plastic under the hood done too...

 

He's really good with the airbrush...

 

hmmm....that would look SO SEXY on a black RX-8....

 

i'm not a big fan of the flames, but i agree that the guy did a great job.

 

just to clarify- it is always acceptable for a member to post the price of something- unless that member is working for the company selling the product.

 

Thanks I just didnt know the exact rules.

 

that looks really really good in the car. That is a fantastic piece of art work.

 

I just noticed this too when I put it on the car they even date the cover so it is a 1 of a kind piece. Nice little touch!

 

Thank You Tigster for the kind words! We are very happy that you are satisfied with the job. Remember that if you later decide to go all covers, we will cut you a break on the job for purchasing the main cover already. We will need the main cover back with the other covers AB etc... to repaint with the entire scheme.

 

Hey Vice,

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of high temp paint did you use?

Gets nice and toasty underneath that hood.

 

Not to hi-jack Tigster’s post, but... It is not Hi-temp paint. It is standard Professional body paint that is then cleared just like the exterior paint of any car. The cover is plastic not unlike a color-keyed bumper and well if the plastic dun melt then the paint won’t melt either! :D All Joking aside. It holds up well under the heat conditions present.

 

Vice you can answer and hijack all ya want! I can tell you I had my last cover painted with just the duplicolor paint and it held up fine. I am not worried at all about the paint on the cover. The hard part is now I keep opening the hood to show people. I need a light so you can see it at night.

 

yea jedi.. I had to come see it for my self.. sweet...
