Lt1 Motor Dress up time! Well I was wondering, my Lt1 looks like *** (doesn't represent its 400 hp+ status) I think chrome/red parts would be the best for my white car I was wondering where you guy's have picked up your dress up parts
so far i'v only found a few little things.. like these Spark Plug wire holders mounted on the valve covers
throttle body cover plate
oil cap
rad cover.. $85 bucks for this

Damn the sight of your poor LT1 makes me want to take it out to a field and shoot it...
Since you're going to be driving the car daily you need to forget about pollished goods.(too much maintainance) It has to be paint or chrome.
If you paint the intake gloss red and sand/polish the ribs on top, you would have a nice part sitting between the chromed valvecovers and do a polish job on the fuel rails. You can maintain the rails by hand once per month. Get a chrome/or polished 52mm Holley throttle body and get some go along with the look.
Also, you'll need some fuel rail covers. It simply covers the fuel injector wiring. It would be the finishing touch to your nice engine.

HEHE I see NItrous!!!!
I was just thinking about this the other day.
Id suggest either a black or red intake with the polished ribs.
Some fuel rail covers. Custom ones at http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/lt1-frc.html.
The Holley TB,
TB Plate.
Oil cap is also a good idea.
Maybe get rid of the rubber elbow for an aluminum one, or a LS1 lid conversion. The clear ones are badass.
And definetly polish the fuel rail.
Oh and hide the nitrous!!!hehe
