    Having personally never seen a V6 engine cover i thought your drinks led you to cut the shape of the heart in the covers! At least it looks like that in the first pic.

    Default Nice!

    Lookin real good! Great use of the colors to offset each other.

    I have a GT and the first thing to come off (Same day as I picked it up from the dealership, actually) was the V8 engine cover. The V6 one seems to have a better look to it, and you really accented it well by your color choices.

    I went with the 6.0L Holden fuel rail covers direct from Australia for mine. Just painted and installed them this past weekend, actually.

    Great job!

    Good times.
