I've seen guys use LS7 covers off a Vette on a stroked LS3. Ultimately, it's all LS so as long as you have the mounting points for new covers, it should all work, but I imagine you are wanting to know if the Vette covers will work with the Camaro mounting points.

I have similar style ls7 covers but from a Z28, my biggest issues came from the fact that ls7 used different intake manifold and the fact that it was dry sump with no oil fill, which I don't think should be an issue with Vette LS3 covers, all you would need are some extra studs because stock I think the car comes with 1 but needs 4 for the fuel rail cover style.

Personally, I'd leave it and if you want dress up by adding color to key existing parts. I don't want anything that potentially traps heat or serves no purpose other than to cover up the goods. I'd rather make the goods shine.
