Anyone install the blue Camaro Engine Cover?

Annihilate · 04-12-2024, 07:37 AM

I am potentially in the market for the blue oem engine cover as seen here: https://www.shopchevyparts.com/perfo...lP-C3n7KgTJbUE

I haven't been able to find any pictures from anyone who actually has this on their vehicle, and I was wondering if anyone who may have it here could share some!

Trying to determine if this would be a decent upgrade or not. Price certainly demands a bit of research!

Thanks in advanced!

It's pretty pricey... you'd be better off painting your stock one, and especially if the lettering paint is still as bad as it was in earlier model years, flaking off completely from the heat after 1-2 years.

I had my covers painted Hyper Blue with black lettering by a vendor (now out of business). I DIY painted the center section and the ignition coil covers silver.
Excuse the pollen on everything please. Pollen season is about over so I will get the engine bay cleaned up.

Ohh, that may be a much more economical route, and I'd be able to get it color matched perfectly.

Thanks for the ideas guys, will look into this.

Also that looks great @SSDan

+1 on DIY

Spray painted mine matte black and added blue vinyl letters from Phastek. I like that I can just get another set should I ever need to "refresh" the look of the lettering.

Just another idea.... I painted the valve cover...um, covers! I think it's a little more subtle than the fuel rail covers, and leaving them black is a nice contrast between the grey of the main cover and the now red valve cover. Very easy to do. Clean, dry, spray promoter, color, and then your finish of choice. My current SS is Hyper Blue (like yours) but I plan to KEEP the red valve cover idea for this one, though I haven't done it yet to this car.
