LS1 Engine Covers

Hey, I was just wondering if any of you have bought or looked into the engine covers from this company. I was thinking of getting a set for my RS in PoloGreen to match the car. Any thoughts...............jt

Thats Cool, I just want something to cover the coils and what not on the engine. I have a set or corvette covers for now but want something either plain or to say camaro. I wouldnt mind having a set in PoloGreen with the Camaro lettering at the top and 25th Anniversary in the center. Have you seen any other sites that carry the custom covers................jt

Ive seen them on Ebay. But they not always up. I think Afterthoughts is your best bet.

i smoothed my corvette set out and it worked great. i suppose that isn't bad considering what gm wants new for the covers but if you search you can find the covers quite cheap so $200 for just that seems a bit much. have you looked into the cady and gto covers as they will work too. i figured there would be alot more options available for engine dress up but beyond the corvette and it's actual engine bay there isn't much at all.

a few cheap vacuum plated plastic pieces for the f-bodies, march wants over $1,000 for a nice set of billet pullies which isn't bad compared to $2,500 for billet specialties set and then these covers which are expensive new.

always something..

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, figured the aftermarket would have the market cornered for these pieces given all the cars out there with LSX engines in them. How exactly did you do yours?? Maybe Ill just get the vette ones I have modded......jt

WOW, those looking really sharp. Snap a pic if you can once you get them installed on the engine.
