Default Custom under hood fuse box cover data plates

Did these while trying to take the fuse box covers that some members have done in another direction. I thought instead of masking off the fuse box like others have tastefully done with metal covers etc., why not simply enhance the existing data plates. Figured this way the data plates still look very detailed, but not a blah factory sticker.

These are aluminum adhered with double stick tape with the all the fuse location information thermally imprinted onto them. For the custom look I had a thin red line run around the plates perimeter and my year and model added. So anyway that is the way I chose to address the somewhat unsightly / tacky OEM fuse box dilema in dressing up the under the hood presentation.

Wow those look real nice. GM should have done something like that from factory.

You could probably make up a few of them and sell them, just saying

Love it!!

Greg, your car is so PACKED with unique details, it's outstanding. It's very fresh and creative and so much there that it's easy to miss a couple details while observing others. I'm happy to be one of many that saw your Monte in person!
