Never thought I would see a write-up for a bellow but hey, looks great. I have one that came on my car and its old as hell, looks like hell, and if it didnt come on my car I probly never would have bought it. Anyway, looks good!

Although a seasoned LS1 guy will notice the big plastic air bellows on either side of the lid are missing.

Did you ever do a write up on glueing(sp?) the sticker back on. Now that would be a good write up.

Yea that would be good to but I was actualy gonna do a writeup on getting the slp smooth bellow sticker next to my ram air sticker but I couldnt find a writeup on how to evenly distribute the glue or what kind to use.

There would be no difference. I created this thread back when I was a foolish Noob. I'm a little more proud now of my current how to install videos like shocks and springs/ master cylinder/ and LS6 manifold install.

Can you please show step by step pictures on the installation of the smooth bellow? I have always shied away from it because it looks to hard for me to tackle by myself

Mine wouldn't seal perfectly either after my bellow. I used weather stripping on the inside of the lid that worked really well. Unfortunetely the stripping raised the lid so it now rubs on my hood!
