Why do certain people put Corvette FRCs on their Camaro's, Forebird's, GTO's?? I just don't get it why. I owned a Vette before my current ride and I just don't see the point.

Because saying you have a "Corvette" engine makes it so much more powerful than a normal LS1....

Cut to fit and painted to clean up the engine bay appearance. What's that have to do with you owning a vette before though?

It's not the fact that they're from a Corvette at all. They just make the ugly LS1 engine compartment look a little more presentable...by covering up a bunch of crap. I would never put anything on my Camaro that says Corvette btw.

Well, allow me to help you out a bit with what the point is:










The point is we can take those ugly *** CORVETTE covers and turn them into a thing of beauty that accents the engine bay and can be personalized to each individuals car. Hopefully that helps make the point a little clearer.

Way to go man, ..., Nice hit back in to their court, ..., Spike, homerun, whatever, ..., That's why we all do it.

It's a thing of beautification, ..., There are very few who will leave them with the "Corvette" text.
