Cool Engine Covers (FRC's) I just want some opinions on these different engine covers.
VY Engine Cover from a Holden (GTO)
Take this and swap to the GTO PS reservoir, then cut the back half to fit the F-body. With some custom paint and maybe an emblem, it would rock.

More sweet covers here:http://www.jhp.com.au/enginecovers.php
Notice the raised lettering on these:
Check out the new beauty/noise cover on the LS3 intake manifold from GM. Talk about easy to paint.

A few custom ones and some factory units that can possibly be retrofitted to our cars.
Who says we couldn't make something like this?
You could take a piece of aluminum sheet and cut it up and bend the corners to fit the shape and then have someone weld the seems. Then take it to get polished. Maybe have a bowtie or arrowhead airbrushed on and then clearcoated. I think it has the potential to look sick if done right.
And instead of those polished fuse covers, why not a single larger piece to cover all that junk over in the front corners and in front of the airbox. Even if you made it out of sheetmetal and painted it body color or black, it will still look better than stock. There's a lot of potential out there, so why stop at fuel rail covers?

Why'd you just copy and paste all this from that other thread into here??? 
If normal corvette FRCs require a lot of cutting to fit under the hood of an f-body, imagine what it would require for ANY of those to fit
And to be honest, I don't like any of those posted
