Default Chrome Plenum Cover?

I am looking for a chrome plenum cover with the ridges to fit a 2008 LS3. Does anyone stock these? I had been waiting over 2 months for mine to arrive and I finally cancelled the order after they admitted they were no closer to shipping it than when I placed the order.

I just got mine from RPI Design and it took about 3 Weeks.

Your 08 should have a LS3

In before someone tells you they don't make one for an 08 LS2

Dang it two seconds too late!

Try Ecklers.

Don't expect it to be "Chrome". It's paint over plastic.

Chrome is electroplated Chromium, usually 3 layers (Chrome over Nickle over Copper). The plenum covers I've seen for sale are all paint over plastic. You can tell by the instructions for care, if Chrome polish is recommended it's Chrome, if soap and water then its paint.
