Beauty cover options with LSA conversion

What are my options for a beauty cover with the lsa i stall on a stock 1le/ss hood ? Will I need a different hood, different strut bar, etc ? I've noticed a lot of people don't use the covers when doing the conversion.
Thanks

The zl1 cover fits fine on my 1le. No issues with the cover at all.

I don't believe so. I mean you can Probobly get it to fit. But body flex you will be smacking the blower on the bar. You can find them for like 75-100. And then sell your stock one for the same. So you should be damned close to break even on the swap

Yes I shimmed mine 1/4 inch. Hood closes fine. Plenty of clearance for the blower too.
