Default Ya or Na on new VCs cant decide if I like (pics)
I picked up a set of polished Alum VCs and went with the ball mill design, since i thought it would nice with our intakes and different than the average smooth design. Now that they are on I cant decide if I want to change them to something else?
What do you think/suggestions?

Fill the milled sections in with the same red on the manifold and it will look better i think.

Compared to my junk, yours is nice as is lol

I think they look really sharp, I decided to go with the lt4 composite because I hate hearing valvetrain noise but as far as looks go those ball milled VC look really nice and also I have never seen those on an LT1. Also if you don't mind me asking where you got that intake "elbow" I guess it would be even though it doesn't turn ha. I still have the stock accordian style on mine but that looks like it would be much less turbulent.

I dont think I would do red, maybe black just to set it off? I think red would look cheezy.

It's an option to work with what you have now. I might be the only one, but I think that the stockers look good as is. Ones that are clean and shiny look badass next to a nice powder coated intake mani. My buddy's intake is powercoated candy red and the stock valve covers are really clean. He has ceramic coated LT headers and a white engine bay. Under the hood of his car looks really good IMO.
Mine...not so much, but I'm not into looks anyway...

Painting those valleys red would like cheezy IMO, I think they look good the way they are, leave them alone or send em to me and I will send you back some heartbeat of america valve covers if you wanna look cheezy you might as well go all out

I think red valleys would look great, but if you want to see first just get some red tape

How come you didn't ditch the EVAP when you deleted the AIR & EGR?

Ditch the TB cable bracket cover while you are at it...
After that, ripping out that AC box in the engine bay should be next on your list...
