Engine plenum covers

Who makes this version of the Carbon Fiber Plenum and Rail covers? I am looking to add it to my Christmas list!

I know RPI makes them. You can also check C7 Carbon.

Check out American Hydrocarbon. Not real carbon fiber but a lot cheaper and if it's under the hood why not save the money.

Won't do busness with RPI. Took 9 weeks to get a front splitter that should have been three. Love their product but customer service sucks. I'll check out the others though.

Thanks.

Southern car parts has them, also APR makes really nice stuff, it's a little pricey though.

All that plastic does nothing but add weight. Take it off!

I got ones with SUPERCHARGED written on them. But, I had to change out the intake manifold too.

Why don't you take it off and have it painted like I did on the complete engine. Great place here in Texas that can mix and paint color in their great machine.

Adds minimal weight but definitely holds in heat. The first thing I did after tuning my LS3 was get rid of the plastic cover.

I have a couple motorcycles with carbon fiber parts and it does have the benefit of low weight, strength, etc.

But I don't understand carbon fiber "look" (aka fake CF), it looks tacky as hell.

To each his own.
