Default LS7 Beauty Covers
Hey Guys. Are there any aftermarket options available for beauty covers for the LS7 engine, besides the one that says Corvette in red? Please advise.

Hi. I took a look at those companies but didnt find much. Does anyone have some direct companies they have dealt with about these custom covers before?

A friend of mine has a LS2 with beauty covers shaped similar to the LS7 ones. He had a body shop fill the grooves, sand the covers smooth and paint them a light blue to match the color of his car. They look great. I'll try to get some pictures of them when he gets back from AZ vacation.

I personally liked the stock lettering on my LS7 covers but the matte finish they come with sucks. I sanded them smooth and repainted them red, painted the black lettering back in, then clear-coated them. IMO, they look much better now.
