Would this impact the warranty in anyway?

I changed my covers to the tall bullet ones and just put the coil packs on them and added a touch of cyber gray to the intake

This weekend I saw a Katech setup with the coils
mounted on the sides away from the motor.

Default Not Mine...

I saw the below photo on this forum sometime ago and saved it. Not sure who's car this is, but I hope to lose my Apsis carbon fiber fuel rail covers for this coil relocation setup with black powder coated coils over silver metallic or polished valve covers (photo 3).

Hope to have this...



Presently have this...



Like this setup and color combo as well...

I think the Lethal pic with no coils showing is what I am talking about.

The coils are down on the pass/driver sides on a customer bracket.

Can we get an aerial pic of the Lethal setup?

Got some real engine **** going on here.

Where do you get the brackets to relocate the coils off the engine?

I agree where are they? Also looks like the car isn't finished.

I love the look of the Katech's, but I didn't want to have to remove the alternator to take them on and off (blower guys know what I'm talking about). Here's what I ended up doing...

Very nice! Except for the 427 part. Unless I am wrong, that is an LS3 or LS2, and therefore not a 427. Isn't that why they call us widebooty/widebody guys poseurs?
