Hey all,

Picked up these GTO coil covers from Craigslist here in Pensacola for 20 bucks. Figured why not. So, I cut an tested an cut an fitted an cut an cut an shaved an cut.

Well here they are. GTO covers on an LS4. Now before the flamin starts I am getting rid of the GTO and they will say either Grand Prix or GXP or LS4. Not sure what I'm gonna go with just yet. I will paint them and get ride of the GTO. SO heres a fitment pic.

Still have some cleaning up to do with the edges an what not, and maybe mess with them some more to get them to fit better an better.

But thanks guys...

If you would, can you snap a pic of the cuts you made? Just to see what is involved?

Yeah sure, it was pretty easy actually, the GTO covers are already formed fairly well. I just cut off all the mounting pieces on the inside of them. Then i checked for fitment an busted out a sharpie. I just traced cut marks where the covers hit against something and always took less off than needed until it fit. They still need a little more modding and i need a way to secure them, but they do stay pretty securely already.

Ill take some pics for ya.
