First coil-less LS1 :) So... Anyone who follows my builds knows I like a clean engine bay. I also like to push the envelope of different so I got rid of my coils. 
As you can see from the pics, there are plug wires so the car does function. I'll let you guys look for a bit before revealing their location and how I did it. Enjoyl

I've already shaved the valve covers down, painted them with wrinkle paint, and painted them gunmetal. I would like some taller ones in the future but these work for now.
BTW.... It has coils on it, the "coil-less" tag is just a joke to get people to think they aren't there. I just hid them very well. Look closly.

Well...By clean I mean that I want stuff removed and out of the way. The pics are a bit golden in color but I don't think asking me if its a joke is really necessary. It's a daily driver and I just got back in when I snapped the pics.
Anyway... The coils are hidden under the fender extensions. Other than the fact that they are unfinished underneath there, I really hated covering them up. They look really cool pointed towards the engine all symetrical and such.
I'll try to take one loose and snap a shot of them under there.
Worst part of this was extending the harness wiring. It took some time to solder them and after all was said and done, one wire didn't like the solder and it dropped number 7 coil. Took 5 minutes to fix what I thought would be an entire re-do. I wasn't sure if stretching out the wiring would cause a voltage drop or not. Thank God it didn't.
