i have 2 actually....the black one that took me months to find off a sc430 and the OEM one from my gs430.....the oem one from the gs430 was used to make this mold so its kinda rough (i havent seen it actually but it is being returned to me and from what i hear they sprayed it matte black to clean it up some). we might be able to work something out, will know more when i get it in.....
so you only civil with me when you want something fonzy?

thanks, me too. i gotta try and source a CHROME L for the engine cover now as when they made the mold they shaved it off and i doubt they saved it.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN SOURCE A CHROME L FROM A OEM GS430,LS430,SC430 ENGINE COVER? can u buy just the L from a dealership, i doubt it?

It seems like you have done alot of stuff to your car, but I dont think Ive ever actually seen the car. Are you just gathering everything before you put it on?

Default Nice!

It's so pretty! Can't wait to see it mounted? Are you gonna do more pieces to compliment it? I like it!

The company that did all my interior pieces are capable of this as well and thier turn around time is great!

ClassicTrim WTP: http://classictrimwtp.com/gallery.html?topcoll=1

Thier prices are reasonable as well? Just trying to help others that's all! Let the owner (Frank) know I sent you!

Great job on that cover!

thanks kyle


seriously now i been on sewells site for awhile looking for a few things

i found the engine cover but doesn't seem they offer the L separately

http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/***...l=203&year=162

can anyone hook me up with a L they de-badged from their trunk, or from their engine cover or can someone tell me where to get the L from the engine cover? i dont wanna ruin my other oem cover just for the L
