I think the carbon fiber would look much better than the painted ones. I'd much rather see stuff like intake elbows, slp style intakes, and valve covers in carbon fiber.

And, I'd rather clean up the area around the intake manifold than cover it.. A nice "clutter control" kit for all the vacuum tubes and fuel injector leads, maybe new lines and hoses as necessary to get a clean look for example...

I'd rather make my engine something to admire rather than cover it up

What are the chances you'd make this kinda stuff?

As this poll here and in the LT1 forum shows there is no way to make our money back (@ $25-$40 profit per part) given how little LT1 owners are willing to spend on their engines. We would lose money... lots of it.
We will make an intake cover though because it may sell and it won't cost too much for the tooling on that piece.
