Coil covers
I decided to do my own coil covers so I bought a new set from GM and had a friend of mine sand , prime and paint them with DSOM. I ordered the side emblems for my ZO6 from GM but didn't like the red contrast with the DSOM. I masked and then air brushed the Z on both emblems with Carbon Flash paint, then cleared them both. I also put a strip of Amber LED lights from SuperBrightLeds on the inside of the coil covers but I had to cut a small section of the underside insulation away so LED's could stick tightly. The LED strip is toward the top of the cover. I wired both covers and once they were on the car, I ran a small on/off switch from the POS of the fuse box and a wire to the NEG terminal underneath the alternator. Hard to see the LEDs in bright daylight.

Coil Cover/LED night shots
Here's a couple in the garage with the door down and lights off. Going take some pics at night outside at next car cruise, see if ambient light helps pictures.

BOBSZ857,
Yeah they look cool in person. Thanks man!
May have to add some LED lighting possibly in the front area, maybe where the air extractor's located. Didn't want to get crazy with the lighting. Still have some ideas cooking' around.....

The engine compartment of the ZO6's is too dull, all black and mostly plastic-looking. Brainstorming ideas for the top of the supercharger, maybe the word CORVETTE or the metal lines done in body matching DSOM in my case.
