Long Beach Red painted engine covers

and Yes I searched first. Didn't find anything

Has anyone upgraded their engine covers, etc. on a LBR vette.

Ideas and Pictures would be greatly appreciated. This is my winter project. In particular, I'm not sure what I want to do with the plenum cover. All Black with LBR fuel rail covers, or combination black and LBR on the plenum, or silver and LBR or ????

thanks

I would also like to see some pics of different combinations with the long beach red as I was thinking of doing something similar. I will definately go smooth.

I had several emails with Pete from Showstoppers. With what I wanted and his professional input we came up with a plan. Will be taking my covers off this weekend to send to him. Will post pics once I get them back and installed.

FWIW, I prefer the 2nd pic...the first one is a little too busy for my tastes.
Of course, YMMV.

from looking at your picture is that just a one piece cover that goes over plenum and fuel rail covers?

thanks! The covers look great. I am going to contact Pete as I read earlier someone took theirs off and sent to him. Not sure on the process or costs. I have only seen the RPI covers.

He is easy to work with, yes, I'm certain you can get a credit if you send back your original parts.
He told me an estimated 4 week turnaround...
