Much better than the ever popular plastic crap that people use to hide all remnants of an internal combustion engine.

Same valve covers. I had them done in Candy Apple Red powder coat but let my engine builder change them up a little.

Love it! Ever think about painting your intake black, the "FAST" and "LSX" lettering silver and leaving the "R" red?

That would be a slippery step towards the Form over Function side.

I'll leave it like it is.

Actually, it looks really good as is. I just need to get some good pics of the car overall after all this time.

im still in the middle of doing alot of work to the car. i still need to install my custom fuel system and holley fuel rails. once i do that the evap stuff will be removed. that's if i can figure out how to do it safely...

for those that are interested in doing this mod it is very time consuming, cutting the coil wires back takes some patients but its well worth it.
there are so many ways of accomplishing it that i can list a guide of parts i used but there are a million ways to do it. the hardest part is making the new wires
