Holley Coil Covers installed

I put a set of the Holley Coil covers on my GTO and thought I would post some pictures. I got them fit but haven't painted them yet. Thinking I'll paint them black. Let me know your thoughts.

I would just either leave it unpainted like that or paint it with a textured matte black finish. looks good

i really like how those look! mostly because i hate the way it looks with coils mounted on top of the vcs... too cluttered.... but that cleans it up really nice

These are preproduction Holley covers. They are due for release in feb. Thinking about some pontiac logos. Just something simple and I agree the textured black sounds good. Something similar to the intake finish. The big block look is what they were designed for.

Exact pricing I don't have but will be in the 175 range retail. They are universal fit so you trim them for your application. I had to clearance for the booster and the fuel lines on the GTO.

They use a ball stud and grommet set up like the OEM vette covers. The studs and grommets are included. You can also choose to leave the oil fill tube out so it's covered by the cover. Just have to pull the cover to add oil. The straight fill tube and cap is also included.
