Did you actually get the booster cover from RK Sport because I've been looking for one for a while now.

The carbon fiber battery cover I purchased from a forum member. I am still searching for the right alternator cover. The fluid reservoir caps are carbon fiber and chrome also.

Like the way you did this! Are the "caps" covers for the OEM caps or the complete cap; and where did you get them? Dave

I dig the powder coated alternator cover... I've only seen them in chrome and I'm not a fan of that at all. Overall this is very tastefully done.

I like the simplicity of my car's LS6 but it just doesn't have the visual impact of the modified LT5, in my 90 ZR-1.
Sorry for the hijack.

If you can give me a day or 2 I’ll check my receipts when I get home. I am thinking I found them on this site in the for sale section but I’m not positive on that at the moment. It’s not a one piece but 2 pieces. One on each side of the intake and they’re a cover, not a replacement piece.
