Very nicely done dovervold.

Thanks again everybody.

Looks cool! Side question : what did you use to trim those fuel rail covers?
I assume they're cut to expose the coils that way.

I like the look. Now you have room for roller rockers, we just need somebody to make them that works with the LS7.

It's easy to do that too, and I have tried to avoid it and keep it somewhat subdued, going polished aluminum in lieu chrome.

I'm somewhat of a conservative person, and sometimes when I look at it I wonder if it's not too much bling.

Looks great Ricky,

Have you considered painting the covers an automotive clear-coat once they are polished to perfection..? Just a thought.

i like the polished look also. i think yours is a perfect balance. keep it simple. less is more with these cars.

Default Nice, Very nice!
Love them and the relocated coil packs. The little fuzzy booties on the plug wires really top it off.

I know, if you have headers, you gotta have them.

Couple coats of clear would keep the finish ice!

If you look under the FRC, you will see there is an indentation that you can follow. I used blue 3M painters tape so I had an exact edge to follow. Then just slow with a jig saw. Then sand the edge smooth with a file or sand paper and they turn out really nice

Definitely thinking about this.

You guys don't think that clear will yellow from the heat?
