Well, since I like the fact that the stock caddy motor cover cuts out almost all valvtrain and injectors noise I kinda wanted to keep it vs the red FRC's... So this is what I did last night.

-using a scotch brite pad and some purple power degreaser I cleaned up real good.
-blew it all down with an air gun and dried it.
-masked it all off and trimmed with a razor blade.
-tack clothed it.
-hit it with 3-4 coats of adhesion promoter.




-then some semi high heat SATIN black paint. About 3-4 coats, used the whole can. I say satin because flat is too flat and gloss looks cheap. Satin is a nice OEM match i think. WHATCHA THINK!?

 

The red coil covers were from a z06, not a Frc.




Looks good bob!!!!! Now finish the diff so we can go whip donuts in this rain. Lol

 

FRC, fuel rail cover


n00b....

 

damn that looks awesome, great job! haha think im going to try it this weekend!

 

 

Looks good. I was leaning that way myself. Well, if I can't talk the wife into getting me the Z06 FRCs (n00b)

 

Looks badass bro!

 

"FRICK"in 'A' that looks sick! Lol

I'm not a fan of the engine cover but that almost makes me change my mind bro! Great job...

 

I've definitely noticed more injector noise with LS2 covers. That paint job looks good, but it still sort of sucks you can't see more engine.

I'm thinking about sticking some dynamat or something on the FRC's just to see if it helps.

 

Im gonna go back to the engine cover if itll clear my nitrous solenoids, the valvetrain is a tad noisy with the cam and i dont often pop my hood.

 

Looks like a big black garbage can lid instead of big grey garbage can lid.

 

I like it bro looks good!

 

To much Black for me . . but . . I do like the 'Yellow Top' Battery . . it matches the Top of the Dip Stick .

 

I was thinking of doing the same thing myself. It really does its job cutting down on the valvetrain noise.

 

Anyone painted one to match their car color (other than black of course lol)? Thought about getting some paint to match and painting mine one weekend.

 

I thought about that. But black is black as silver is silver, to me anyway lol

There's this place by my house that will put any paint code in a spray can... I used them when I did my valve covers on my cobra (mineral grey). Turned out very nice. Don't skimp on the prep....

 

Looks great.

 

X2. It def helps quiet the valvetrain noice that gets transfered inside the car.

 

I got mine done last summer

 

That was my winter project last winter
