Love the collector edition color

That's a really cool intake+valve cover, if I were to guess, he made it himself.

Came from a "Corvette" application, ..., It is a carbon fiber cover that was cut/painted to match the theme.
Some company used to produce them for the Corvette people, but not so sure they're still available.
I bought it used on Ebay a couple years ago for $60. Dirt cheap considering they were originally about $365 on their site.
Then I modified it similar to the FRC's I've done over the years.

Do you think the 5th gen engine cover will fit on an LS1?

Default found cheaper engine covers

I found cheaper engine covers made for c5's that can be modified to fit our engines.

Those are nice but I wouldn't consider $400 cheap and I don't think I'd be cutting them up to make them fit.
