I've never been a fan of how all the new cars cover everything up with plastic covers, so I painted my valve covers and left the coils exposed. The black paint hides dirt very well and with a little extra effort cleaning up the factory harness loom it looks pretty clean.




I've also considered using the LS9 valve covers where the coils attach directly to the covers and not a coil bracket.



Here's a link to the thread about the LS9 covers.
