Thanks,
It's easy enough to tell. Just lift it. If it's copper - nickel - chrome it will be a lot heavier after chrome plating. Your're wallet will be lighter though, it cost me $400 to just have mine show chromed yet alone the price of the cover itself. If this is same process it's a steal!

I don't think so. These are made to tightly fit the stock LS1 manifold.

Thanks!

You can pre-order on the website, we'll make sure you get the first batch. Way too much labor in each piece for $150.00

Very interested. Will the heat cause any problems with how they retain the shine? Nice product!

Our C5 plenum/intake manifold covers are made from premium ABS plastic. Each cover is chrome plated and ready to win those shows! These install in minutes with our 3M tape built in. Simply peel and stick and tighten a few bolts. Install in under 30 minutes.

These will start shipping January 14, 2009. When you order select "Pay by Mail" we'll call you when your cover is ready to ship to get your credit card information at that time. This is a pre-order item.

Pictures show a C5 unit painted in a low gloss black and a C6 unit in chrome. We currently do not have a picture of a C5 unit in chrome. The C5 unit will look exactly like the C5 unit in the picture, just chrome plated.





We are looking to get 12 of these pre-ordered. If you'd like to get the first batch, please go to our site and order as stated above. Please PM us your username as well and we'll add you to the list.

Heat doesn't do anything to the shine. The chrome is made to hold up to the heat.

Thanks again!
What chrome shop is doing your chroming? Is the shop in Nashville, TN by any chance? Want to make sure that if I go this route that it will match all my other triple plated chrome which was plated there.

Also what is the material made of before chroming? Is it copper or some other lightweight material? Chroming of anything other then copper is nto easy and has a tendency to flake, crack and peel if not done properly. Chroming of plastic and other materials is a 10 step process and if any of the steps is not done correctly...you are asking for problems.

Want this to match everything else I have in the engine compartment that is chromed. See below.
