I'm using GTO covers... I think they look real nice when the GTO is smoothed and they are painted to match the car. They also hide the fuel line and are pretty close to symmetrical too. I don't have a pic of mine but here are some pictures that convinced me to use them... I can't remember whose car it is or I would give them credit, sorry...




I also like the LS2 Corvette covers but what turns me off about those is the big cutaway on the drivers side for the alternator. It would be fine if I had Corvette accessories but it looks funny to me with the f-body accessories.

the gto covers are nice but a little more pricey than the vette ones
I bought some painted vette ones
plan to smooth and paint em to match car ... probably add Z/28 emblems
pics of the ones I bought in this link https://ls1tech.com/forums/florida-c...241-heads.html
