Engine Cover Alternative

I wanted to highlight the complexity that individual coils offer rather than cover it up. Here is what I did to the LS6 in my C2. What do you think?

mounting

The individual coil cover is mounted to the coil by use of 2 ea 90* aluminum brackets held in place by the coil mounting bolts. The cover is bolted to these brackets with 45* flat head socket bolts.

Interesing look - very different. Got kind of a motorcycle/aircraft/vintage hot-rod feel.

Not my cup of tea, but looks great!

I saw this car at the Central Arkansas Corvette Club meet in Little Rock it was sweet !!!! I love the way the covers give the new school engine and old school look.
Great Job !!
