Made them from coasters and cans from mix nuts , painted cans black and glued coasters on top...
They just sit on top I will put them on at car shows only..

After seeing the way everyone has been using some different things for strut covers, I found these to do mine today...lol... (See pic). You will NEVER guess where I found them...

Beautiful engines guys! I'm new to the Monte, want to take good care of it though. Wonder how you get (and maintain) the engine looking so clean? It's my daily driver, got 'normal' gunk on it. On previous cars I've just used a can of engine degreaser every few months but it wasn't really worth it to do more than that. Hope this isn't a dumb question...

Sweet, were did you get the SS oil cap ? Is it a billet ? I like that .. Great job... I was just going to clean my coil packs because they looked so dirty, after I took them off, #4&6 had a good bit of rust on them (contact points where the plug snaps on ). So, just decided to wire brush the rust off, then got all fancy and had to paint them as well.... Turned out nice, worth the hour 1/2 it took....a great point was brought up about my Spider though.. The black widow doesn't look right on the Carbon Fiber, So, I'm changing the carbon fiber look to something else... Gotta think of what though... Mjclemm...
