Hmmm, didn't see it in their latest catalog. Guess I'll give them a call and check it out.

It's "pricey" huh? I'll BET it is. After all, it's for a CORVETTE, heh, heh, heh.

Does get me to wondering though....if it would fit the LS1 in the late model Caddys, GTO's and Chevy SS's, would it be cheaper?

Try Kewl Auto. They had them at one time and probably still do. Their's may go on in two pieces, making it a snap to install.

I bought mine from Kewl in May. I noticed last Friday that the chrome plating has an air bubble under it on the front part that covers the throttle body. I called Kewl and they said that an imperfection in the fiberglass surface has probably caused this bubble (it wasn't there when I got it). They are not offering this chrome plenum cover presently until they can get the problem resolved. In the interim, they are researching another base product to chrome plate that will overcome this problem. I'm exchanging mine for a painted plenum cover so that I won't have to deal with this again. The chromed plenum cover is a knockout and draws alot of attention, but not worth it if the potential exists for problems like mine has. By the way, Kewl has GREAT customer service and is exchanging it and giving me a credit for the balance with no questions asked. I would recommend them to anyone. WCC may have a different product but my guess is that the process is the same no matter where you get it.
