I picked up this set very cheap on ebay last week, and was trying to think of something to do to them... paint them, duracoat them, etc., but I grabbed a $2 white paint pen and painted the raised graphics on it at the bottom, and it turned out to be a really nice, subtle difference. took me about 2 minutes to roll the paint pen over the raised graphics, very easy.

here's a pic with the top one painted and the bottom is original.

Looks good....Can I be nosy and ask how cheap were you able to find em?? I've bid on a few sets and they all went for more than I thought was reasonable.

$78, was a bit better than some of the others I was bidding on that got to over $100.

Not a bad deal, sounds like. I like the white you did on the 5.7 and 'ribs'...Now, is there a way to get rid of the 'corvette'?

I know most people like that, just something I don't care for, but that's me. I know the same engine(s) was used in the 'vette, so I guess it sort of makes sense.

I'd feel the same way if the engine wasnt a corvette engine and was a different version of the LS motor meant for the CTS-V, but this thing was pretty much pulled out of the Z06 and shoehorned into our engine bays, lol.

Plus, it helps clear up questions at the events like "what engine is that?", "is that a corvette engine?", "is that a v6?" or the best one I've had so far... "is that a Northstar V8?" lol....

Looks nice! If you want to keep the "CORVETTE" part, it might look better to go over them with the same white color.

I think the white looks nice. Hope it doesnt get dirty though but i guess if it does, it could easily be redone.

Id do the corvette in white too. That would def look unique...

Im looking for a set for mine at the moment as well. I hate the huge caddy cover. I'm looking for the red FRC's with black lettering but if i can find a set of those black ones for cheap, i wont complain. Either way, as long as they say 5.7L, ill use em. I dont wanna be posing or anything with the LS2 covers... lol

Which is always funny since you can get them new for 83 bucks....

Throw some armor all on that intake mafiold and itll all come together. Looks good I like the white.......now if only i could fit my FRCs back on without having to move the nitrous solenoids all over the place.

Will these fit an LS2 or do I have to find LS2 specific FRCs?

they will fit, but I wouldnt recommend the LS1/LS6's that say "5.7L" unless you are trying to undersell your LS2... lol

MY MAN...I never even searched for them new...I figured if they were going for $125+ used on Fleebay they had to be expensive new...Like the time I was quoted $50 on a window switch for my Silverado from a junkyard and it was $18 from the dealer....Homework pays off again
