I went to a coffee and cars drive in today, and there was a 66 C2 roadster with an LS motor, and what looked like these covers. The coil packs were under them, and they looked quite good. I didn't get the chance to talk to him though, because he wasn't with his car. But I was thinking of your post! These were very high quality, and bet they cost mucho dinero!
As nice as they are, my only concern with these 2-piece valve covers that completely encloses the coils and associated wiring under the top cover is HEAT !
Maybe a problem ... maybe not ... I really don't have a clue
BTW .... Wouldn't it be even nicer if they said 'Corvette' on the top instead of 'Holley'
The point I was making, was doing cosmetic mods under the hood still isn't going to change the car from looking like every other Vette on the road, unless you drive with your hood up!
For me, I just like it a little upgraded but not over the top.....just went with red smoothy rail covers...and painted the oil dip stick so it was not yellow. That plus keeping it spotless was good for me. To each their own though.
Valve covers that conceal the coil-packs-similar to the Holley version Katech
Actually the blue covers are GM Performance covers powdercoated ZR1 blue and the stock LS3 coil packs I mounted myself. This setup was on my car I sold and bear1762 is the owner.
Just did a similar setup on my Z using Proform Covers.

Nice work.
I prefer this 'style' over having everything covered with plastic panels. Kept these pics to remind me of what it can look like.
I did the valve covers and coil relocation, I like the look over the plastic covers. It is pretty easy to do with basic tools. I used the Katech valve covers and coil relocation kit, along with longer wires.
Took a simple route with coil covers. Had FAST 102 including billet fuel rails / Vararam intake installed at same time as headers . Thought about relocating coil packs to inside fenders and changing out valve covers. Then found the coil covers. May yet change out at some point. But for cost / effort pretty pleased with outcome...

With Coil Covers (cover is same grey as wheels, lettering same as car):
Installed the new fuel rails today. now I'm just waiting for the Holley valve covers with the coil covers in RED. they are on back order until next month. I'm considering a hydrodip on the intake manifold. I'll see what it looks like once the covers are on. Still needs a good cleaning and I may change the routing of the fuel line..
