How much you charge for an engine cover Mike? Where do we buy the cover overlays? I was looking but couldn't find any. Everything just looks better out of a spray gun..compared to a spray bomb.

Congrats on the 2000 posts 77gp!
It was a long day, drove to the state Farm Show in Harrisburg, PA about 105 miles each way. The kids had fun, we all had fun. Had another Prius pass me doing about 80 mph, I had the cruise set at 70. lol The day's not over yet either, friends invited us to rock-n-bowl, which runs midnight to 3 AM, I think.

When I cleaned it up last weekend I noticed a very small bubble in the paint. It is right in front of the back wheel. Took it to Chevrolet and they said they would cover it under warranty. Can't have any rust already. I was actually amazed they are going to fix it, as it isn't visible rust yet but as I told him, we know whats under there.
