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.

Replaced the fake plastic look cap screws with big chrome metal ones and also the small black cap screws. Added Camaro SS lettering and stainless V8 emblem.

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