hey guys,
well we all know that with the covers off the LS1 is an ugly ugly motor and im looking into making it look a bit nicer. i had the turtle shell on it but thats gone now.

im thinking of the 2 piece 300 KW covers, but im also thinking of having no covers at all and getting coloured billet fuel rails and any other dress up bits.

so can u post up some pics of ur LS1 engine bays.

thanks guys

i got a set of 2 piece LS1 covers for sale if your interested?

im currently doing this now im relocating the coil packs and making new extenions wiring loom for the coils aswell as a few other sensors so the only wires you will see on the engine bay is the wires going to the injectors:yeah:

Im prety sure places like harrop ect do kits to move coils ect.

Engine bays do look heaps better with them moved imo.

I also like the split covers and the hsv(black) turtle covers, but not a fan of the alloy ones above.
