Spruced up the LS1 Engine Compartment...
Saw the new fuel rail covers at Carlisle this year and having a 63 with the aluminum valve covers thought it would be great to have both looking similar. Found an intake cover that I modified and repainted using a silver metal flake to give it a more metallic look. As a result the pictures show, I like it much better then the one piece carbon fiber cover that I used to have....topped it off with a side emblem from the 63 fender....really looks good

Very Sharp. I love the painstaking amount of detail you put into the painting of the intake manifold, reservoir bottle tops, and, engine compartment to match your C5. Enjoy.
