With the cover you are using, I like the red powder coat matching the pipes. The other two, for me, look distracting and don't flow well like they were thrown in there. Maybe if the IC pipes were dipped too? Also Werks has the coolant and brake covers that could be matched.

OR maybe dip the engine too in CF? :)

To be or not to be hard, that is the question. I prefer my top off and still hard when I need it.

They don't look the same when PAW first came out I looked at them but I have to be honest they look crude ,not really a finished look kind of like someone just took a piece of metal and bent it on a brake but then again it's just my opinion and Hammy's post was in 2010 and PAW just started selling these last year

Hey, now I remember! Check out Hammy's thread over on the BB. If he posted about it here I can't find it.

Just incase anyone was interested Hammy sent me an email and said that his covers were custom made by someone he knew so my next step is looking into billet accessories for other GM cars to see if anything will work on my Solstice

Yea my thought is because these cars were a combination of parts I'm sure that the reservoirs  were used on other models and I can make something work .I subscribe to a couple of hot rod magazines and have a few catalogs from places like Billet Specialties so maybe I'll find something .
