Camaro ss engine cover mod

been looking around for coil pack covers for quite sometime and just didnt want to pay for whats available, so i decided since im never going to use the factory piece anymore, why not hack it up!
Simply scored the indention over and over with a razor blade until plastic seperated for a nice clean cut. Fit check for new mounting points, then strategically placed zip ties! Keeps the nice look of the ls intake , but covers up coil packs! , added a ls3 decal to the intake as well, turned out pretty clean IMO

This looks sick - can you give any estimate on how long the project took? I would love to add this to my winter mods

yes it took me about 3 hours to do. The most time consuming part was scoring the indention where the cover meets the center section, there might be a quicker way to cut it but, the utility blade provided a nice clean cut. After that it was just a matter of fit checking and finding where to zip tie it to the engine. oh and also remove the heat insulation from the bottom before cutting, you can go back and trim that to fit if you decide to use it later, you can use loctite high temp spray adhesive to bond it to the bottom of the cover, b/c you will have to remove the tabs when your cutting. They are right in the center of your cut.
