Default New Billet Valvecovers

Just got in my new custom billet valvecovers. Already did the LS6 PCV mod so these are ready to go on. Included a screw in oil cap and a welded in TB connection also clear anodized:

Very slick, I wish I had them on my car.

Are you going to polish or paint them?

They are clear anodized as of right now. I'm going to leave them like that and see how I like it. If I make a change it will either be chromed or painted to match my intake.

They are essentially Nasty's covers, I just went to the source who makes them, a machine shop in Canada. I'll PM anyone who wants that info since he's not a direct sponsor, but again, they are what end up being Nasty Performance covers. Top quality fit and finish.

OK, after a grueling 10 minute install, here they are. Still have to clean up the smudge and oil marks, but you get the idea. Engine bay should be wrapped up this weekend.

Thanks, gotta button up a few things this weekend, obviously the big one is the throttle body and induction, but that's about a 10 minute install too. Other is just tidy up the wiring and harnesses.

Those set things off nicely. They contrast well with the intake. I dig.

Question

Is your ac going to be deleted permanently? It looks really clean without all that ac clutter on there.

Nice bay so far, I can imagine it when you add all the other dress up items.
