Tell me what you guys think.

love the change but is it just me or are the bolts on your valve covers rusted?

'96 Z28SS - The valve covers are from Nastyperformance.com. They are the tall billet valve covers for the LS1. The options that I added were the custom engraving of "Camaro SS," oil filler neck and the billet oil cap. I believe the total price was $460, but don't quote me on that, best to contact Nate as Nasty performance that is who I went through. Awesome customer service and quick responses, great guy to deal with.

Racafella13 - I noticed that too when I was looking over the pictures. I will double check that when I get home and remedy the situation if need be.

To everyone else, thank you very much for the compliments.

I didn't use paint, sold red one and bought a black one. You can't strip powdercoat and paint won't stick to powdercoat.

Looks great man. Why did you change out your carbon fiber lid for the slp lid? The carbon fiber one looked great on your car. I'm not knocking on the slp lid, as I have one myself, but the carbon fiber one looked better on your car.

For several reason. First and foremost I could not get the TSP lid to seal for the life of me. And I had originally intended to get carbon fiber fuel rail covers to go with the lid. But I recently changed my mind (since fuel rail covers are so common) to the tall valve covers look. So seeing as how I didn't have anything carbon fiber to go with the lid plus it wouldn't seal I went with the SLP lid. The SLP lid is more flexible allowing it to seal perfectly. And I honestly couldn't be happier with the way it looks.
