Are all of the pieces overlays? Even the valve cover piece and the radiator pieces? How many pieces are used to cover the valve cover? Looks really nice. Thanks.

The radiator piece alone is $25 shipped. And we will be prototyping some other pieces here and there.

The valve cover piece takes about 2 minutes of cutting with a dremel to take out the v6 3000 part and then it fits perfectly in that spot (this is why i added a note about it). The radiator piece sits on the subframe right in front of the radiator. The other pieces basically stick on top of their respective surfaces.

And there is little to no care for these, I usually clean them with windex and a soft towel to avoid scratches, but from experience these aren't too delicate.

Apparently, you didn't understand what I meant. On the top of each relay box shows you what relay is what. If you cover it with the chrome piece with doublesided tape, how do you know what relay is what?

Get it?

Making the entire cover of the box chrome is really out of the question because plastic dipping is insanely expensive and it might look weird. These provide a clean, simple and cost effective solution in my opinion.

The comment about not knowing what's on the relay box, how many people here have ever needed to look up one of those relays and if you do you usually have an fsm or your car is at a mechanic's shop who can look everything up?? I have had these on my car for nearly a year now with no hassle whatsoever... If anyone ever has a problem I will personally find a picture that shows exactly what is on each one of those boxes.

Chris if you can measure the relay boxes and anything else you would want I could get a 3rd gen dress-up kit going as well, you think you might have some interest?

Completely covers the box cover. However if for some reason you have to take them off, you will again be able to see what's underneath

We already have 10 confirmed buyers who will buy if it is 10 or more.. let's shoot for 20-30 buyers by the end of 3 weeks, if there isn't much more interest in the next couple weeks then I will end it and we will go from there with what buyers we have.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can come up with a few more pieces to add to the kit as well to throw in.

Everyone will be contacted via private message/e-mail about payment when the group deal is over. Usually there are a few people that say they are in, but back out at the last minute, so I will take that in account when waiting for the deal to end.

Credit card, paypal, money orders and checks.

Shipping is included (unless outside of US).
