Manifold/Plenum Covers

If you have a chrome or painted manifold/plenum cover on your C5, let's see 'em. Autobuffs is just about finished with my custom parts paint work, now I gotta find something in the way of a plenum cover.

I know Kewl used to make a chrome one but it is not available any more so they are nice to see but not much help since I can't get one.

Thanks ya'll.

Don't have a picture handy, but I have the plenum cover from Kewl in torch red. Really looks nice on the car.

I got mine used off of the C5 parts section. It was made by Creative Engine Covers. What kind of custom theme did you get?

Noel has created a one of a kind custom NASCAR theme for me. As soon as he is finished, either he or I will post some pics.

Unfortunatly, you can't get that chrome one from Autobuffs or Kewl. Noel and the guys have been testing one for quite a while and the cost to manufacture one that will stand up is almost $1000. Autobuffs decided not to pursue that and I can understand why.
