Default A different sort of engine cover

This engine cover from, I guess, an Australian Holden sure is purty.

(cover photo from this service training manual)

Has anyone ever gotten one of these & dressed it to fit a Camaro?
Sure looks different than the same ole fuel rail covers. Wonder where
you'd pick up something like this.

That totally takes away from the engine. It makes it look way too much like a honda or a mercedes and too little like a true american muscle car. Just my opinion...

true that but think about the many ways you could hide all the nitrous lines

a true because someone can ask you to pop your hood and you'll be like ok. Now that you've seen all you can lets roll

Thats is about all that good for. oooooooh oh yea don't for get you can get that sanded down and primed then painted to match your car color with some bad azz looking design airbrushed into it. (like a phoenix for example)

ok I'll shut up now :p
