I have been trying to get some odds and ends done to my ride to complete the look all around. The engine bay is the only real problem I have left. I did some really nice touches with Chrome and a bit of painting, but it really still lacks that bling or wow factor. For the Corvettes they have covers available in any color to chrome and basically covers the whole engine bay. I cant seem to locate anything like that for the Firebird. Does anyone know of any sites I can look into who has some kind of covers available? I am trying to work with my current shop to see if they can make me something. That will take a long time though. Any Help will be appreciated.

How similar are LS6s and LS1s?
2004-2005 CTS-Vs were equipped with the LS6 engine & came with an engine cover.

meh, who knows

hes not talking about engine cover or fuel rail covers. he means like covers for abs pump, coolant overflow, ecm etc, other stuff in the engine bay, here is a pic of a vette type of coverings...

Yeah, I knew what he was referring to, Smokin'. I just didn't know of any kits out there for our cars & thought I'd throw out that other option.

I was actually going to post this one that I saw over on Tech, but I thought FC had probably already seen it.

Thats exactly what I was talking about. That cadillac has a nice cover I like. The Corvettes have all the options and we dont. That vette with the flames under the hood is what I had in mind for mine.. Wish I could find someone who makes them for our cars. I guess i will just have to make some from scratch for myself!!
