The intake manifold is plastic on the LFX, but valve covers remain aluminum.
If money is not an issue, there are companies out there that can make them out of Carbon Fiber....

Plastic Covers on the LFX Camaro
The valve covers on the LFX are plastic on the Camaro and aluminum on the Cadillac. If you see a v6 with aluminum covers it is most likely an LLT and not an LFX.
