Those look good Bill! I would get ahold of Josh at C&P and have him get you an intake mainfold cover though- CF would look pretty sick!

Katech has a unique relocation kit... it still keeps them on the motor, but you can see the valve covers better.

I've never been able to get an up close and personal look at the engine bay of a C5, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to relocate the coils to the frame rails? Maybe what would be even more trick, is if they could actually be put inside the frame rails, and just drill holes for the plug wires to go through?

That Katech kit is nice, but in order to use that relocation kit you have to buy the valve covers to go with it. Aside from the $880 pricetag, that would just put him back at square one with regards to polishing and coating the valve covers.

I don't like the Katech kit at ALL. It still keeps the coil packs on the valve covers. What good is that?
