$300

Just pull the intake manifold and paint, or replace w/ a LS6 manifold. I did it so anyone should be able to.

personally i think its ok, but for $300 not worth it. I would just buy some corvette frcs for $90 and maybe some polished stainless items to dress it up a lil.

I don't really like it. IMO FRC's look better than this cover.

It's alright. I wouldn't use one. I don't want to have something to help hold the heat in.

I like FRCs better, but that thing is cool too. To use that I'd put Trans Am or Camaro door emblems on each side and then a WS6, Z28, SS, LS1, 5.7L or some kind of badge in the middle facing front...that'd really dress it up!

It's nice looking BUT even at $170 is to much for a standard non painted cover. I'd pay $80 for the standard cover and $170 for carbon fiber

Judging by what people do with FRC's to get them to fit on our cars, you would probably have to hack this thing up to get it to fit on an f-body.

Looks interesting, but, I think i'd rather have a filthy intake over paying $300.

I'm sorry... I don't mean to be a jerk, but can you people please read his post? The cover he is showing is only $170. So stop saying you wouldn't pay $300 for it.

Anyways, I like it. If it would be a direct bolt-on/snap-on, I'd buy it. If I have to hack it up, no thanks
