fixes for the UGLY engine cover
Installed a new CAI, looks nice. now I want to do something about that engine cover. I thought about painting the silver parts orange. maybe different valve covers and eliminate the cover all together. let me see what you people did and who makes it.

I think the stock valve covers and coils look worse

You can get remedies for that. Custom coil covers or remount the coils and have nice valve covers. I think the plastic cover looks cheap and out of place.

While maybe not to my particular taste, I have to say that is one of the most clean and highly detailed engine bays I have seen on these cars. The amount of effort and detail put into it is incredible. Everywhere you look something has been touched. Even the dang wiper cowl has been painted!

Every time you post pics of this I can't help but stare.

I like it when folks relocate the coil packs and put on a Chevy performance valve cover.
