Default How many LT1 owners are serious about buying Carbon Fiber FRC's?

We have them made and they are currently being tested on a daily driven LT1 car. These will be out within a week or so. They will cost about the same as the LS1 covers because of the prices of Carbon Fiber. ($260) OR gelcoat fiberglass ready to scuff and paint. ($160)

Similar to these, but in Carbon Fiber (any color)



Pick your color...

The example shown is the shape of the covers. Not the actual graphic. The covers are Carbon Fiber or gelcoat that the customer can paint.

why hasn't someone made something that looks similar to the ls1 covers for the lt1? I think it would look awesome if the covers covered everything like the ls1

I'm tempted to look at a set for the hawk.
I wonder how they'd look under the hood of an LT1

Got a site or some pics?

I would be very interested in a set of carbon fiber covers. The only downside is the design which doesnt really stand out to me like the LS1 valve covers. Pics would def change my mind. Also, for guys that have done the multi-coil ignition may have fitment issues. Just my opinion.

Gauging interest is fine, but talk to the site owners about a sponsorship if you wish to sell on the forum. (Not sure if you're already affiliated with a sponsor)

I have chrome valve covers, + LT1's dont have coils on the valve covers like LS1's, so I won't be interested.
