LS1 Intake Coversion
#43
I think I know what you mean..kinda like the old IROC's.
It raises a few eyebrows..look what it did on here, got lots of comments. Most were good, and then you have the occassional negativity..
The next thing I think I am goin to do is get some of my extra Aluminum Flashing, and cover up the back of the Lid, so no one messes with any of the connections, and it's closed up a little more.

I had a small fiberglass cowl on my LT1 with black outs in the front, and it looked bad ***.
Get a hood, and it will look bad ***!
Congrats on your success on the project.

I know a guy in an Eclipse, he made a whole Front Bumper Cover out of it so he could get better air flow and still look decent. He looked like ***..

[Who are referring to that is getting their *** kicked?
Just wonderin, cause it eats alot of people around here.. [/QUOTE]
Im referring to people who are more concerned with looks rather than performance. I think if the modification (yours inparticular) will make the car perform better than who cares what it looks like.

Kinda looks like a modern day shaker hood, So the LS1 is a little taller, interesting, learn something new everyday, I figured that it would have fit no cutting necessary

Congrats on the conversion, and I think the LS1 intake is a much better setup then the CAI for the LT1...However i think the lid hanging out the hood looks bad. But if you like it, then more power to ya..its your car not mine. Since i am expessing my opinions i think the Sunoco hood looks fantastic on LS1 cars, but i honestly don't think it looks good on the LT1 nose.
