Would you like them better if they were custom. Possibly for carshows. Maybe if they were a different color, maybe custom flames or usernames? Give me your thoughts.

Nope, none of the above. Cause in the end they still makes the engine look like a big piece of plastic, not a engine. Nothing looks better than a clean engine & these covers in my opinion, do not make the engine look any cleaner.

I agree, but unfortunatly most f-bodies engines look like this....

So it would be a big improvment on some!

Not really cause the rest of the engine bay would still look like ****. I'd just look like a shiney piece centered in dirt, LOL.

Well by your sarcasm I seem to think that you do. So then why are you arguing the point?

I bought on on Ebay a few weeks ago for about $75. I'm gonna modifiy to fit & see how it looks compared to my FRC layout.

To each their own. If you don't like it, no big deal. Don't buy it.
But don't ridicule someone else if they do.
