I like the clean look with your relocation of the coils. Hope you installed some sort of heat shield between the coils and the headers. Heat is the killer of coils.

The coils will stay cooler they way I have him. The pics. are misleading how close they are to the headers. In the stock spot they are under a cover, bolted to the motor and are right over top of the headers. I did this only as a engine bay dress up thing. I saw the C6RS, and wanted to do the coils and valve covers, but they won't sell the coil bracket from the C6RS. So I made something close.
