Default my LT1 T/A at a carshow--predominantly engine bay pics...56k no

I recently installed LS1 tails and some engine bling. The driver's side taillight even came with the rare "FedEx chip" out of it's upper right corner...making a claim today Also I haven't gotten around to polishing the Vortech elbow, because something got on it that I can't remove with any simple cleaner.

Very nice ride. Anyone else notice that Camaro in the first pic with probably the ugliest bumper I've ever seen on it...UNPAINTED?!?!?!?

Looks good. I'd only suggest a few things if you were looking for constructive critisism. I won't mention the nose since you probably will get that fixed, but the only things that stand out are the large wireloom attached to the core support (dirty) and the water pump that is visible but stock (dirty). The other stuff is little (paint imperfections, master cyl., etc.)

it's all good, criticism is welcome...paint somehow got stripped off the passenger-side strut tower (annoying) and yeah the brake master cylinder is dirty. I can't find the dirty wireloom you're talking about, and the water pump isn't stock but electric. I am hoping to get the pump housing coated though if that's what you meant.

What about the nose? The dimple where it meets the pass. side fender? I've tried to fix that, it's impossible.

Your cars probably been punched in the nose... Look on the back side of that bump, I bet you will see fibers where it was patched back together. The dirty wire loom is above the windshield washer reservoir.

Where did your alternator go? And why don't you have the relocation bracket?

No, I hit a deer two years ago and the new fender and front bumper cover just never really fit together right. The fender pushes in too hard where it meets the bumper. I did the install myself and took it to the body shop--even they said they couldn't gaurantee they'd fix it if I paid for the labor.

Hehe, everyone asks that. It's where the A/C compressor used to be; I wanted tall valve covers and options for nice designs so the alternator was sort of a problem. My cardomain, in sig, has pics of the relocated alt.

Look'in good! Gives me some incentive to do mine now. My engine bay should be looking similat to yours when I am done, need to get some nice valve covers like you have, I have the exact same alternator relocation bracket compliments of Jon Addis, he just got done building my motor
