I don't have any picture, but it looks like crap. In my opinion, this engine is ugly without the cover. You have heater hoses running over it, coils and full of wires, valve cover are butt ugly (what you can see from them). Anyway, this is just my opinion...

A search would get you what you want, also, you can remove yours in 10 secs and see it in person! Remove the oil filler cap and lift up at the front....

L99 and LS3 look identical.
Here's my motor with both covers removed (Intake cover and engine cover). Taking the covers off helps your engine cool down faster.

Here are the two covers I took off my car.

10 seconds? Used to take me 4.5 seconds.

Intake cover takes a little more time. You have to lift the fuel rails to get it off. I had some help taking mine off when my car was being tuned. I had to loosen a couple screws if I remember correctly. The main deal is getting the fuel rails up and out of the way.

Who sees it? Unless you're putting your car in a car show, I don't see why you'd have to leave it on.

I personally like seeing the engine a lot better than a big plastic cover.

The cooler the motor the better. Getting that heat build up off the air intake is a good thing.

I would rather look at this than a plastic cover.

Thanks you guys, but i'm not referring to the big ugly plastic shroud that pops right off. I'm talking about the cover that's on the intake manifold itself... many of you who posted pictures may not even realize that that's not the intake manifold you're looking it.. it's also a cover.

SGOS252382 posted exactly what I was looking for... which makes me wonder why in the heck that intake manifold cover is there... looks pretty w/o it!
