Those look killer, and the color match looks perfect too.

I just always liked dragons. Some like comic book superheros I prefer dragons. Maybe its because I used to have a pair of 6' lizards.

Check out Steves gallery

Those are sic looking. They are going to look great in your enging bay. Is the hood liner going to be about the same? Wish I could use something like that(aftermarket fuel rails).

The liner will have the same dragon. It will also have more of the body.

I painted the covers a couple years ago with standard auto paint and clear. That paint held up just fine.

The hoodliner which is the expensive part won't be on all the time. That will mostly be for car shows.

You actually put it on and take it off multiple times I'd be afraid of something happening to it... just doing that

Its pretty easy as long as there is no wind. I cut the center prong off a fork that I use to remove the retainers. I've done this many times with the GM accessory painted liner.

I'm more scared of a belt coming apart and trashing a liner again. Because of the supercharger the belt is very tight and under a lot of stress. My first GM accessory liner was destroyed when a rib separated from the belt and started whipping around. Nothing like opening the hood to see fluffy little pieces of liner all over the place.

That happened during a hard launch. I also later discovered the belt alignment was slightly off. Hasn't happened since but I just don't want to chance it.
