After seeing everyone else's engine bays and how nice they looked with different types of Engine covers I started scouring Ebay for some.

Here they are, not a go fast mod but they tidy up the engine bay 100%.

Promise Im not copying you Nick :lol:

For god's sake Troy - you still perservering with that intake you need an OTR.

That was TIC BTW.:stick: You should try selling it back on Ebay for a couple of hunge which could go towards a nice new OTR.

Oh yeah those covers do look a lot tidier, I am in need of similar as my engine has opted to streak and is in need of some admin. How much were they if you dont mind me asking.

Nice work Bomi, big fan of those covers, I had a set on the Coupe and would have stuck with them but they didn't fit over the fuel rails. As you said, 100% tidier.

Hey Sonny ... if those a few kWs mine must add at least 10 :D

Looks good BOMI, I have been looking at the latter factory LS1 covers myself as I am still running the turtle shell! I was going to buy them new for around $113. What sort of $$ on ebay?

Hey Troy, they look sweet! Defiantly tidy up the engine bay :nutbag:

So they finally got to your place instead of mine hey? haha. I was quite shocked when they rocked up to the front door step of my house - a bit weird. :lmao:

Hate to give you the bad news, but the LS1 forums parts thread has the part numbers for these. The last time I called holden they were under $40 a side.

Sorry Bomi.
