Engine dress up parts?

[wreckwriter]

What sort of pretty stuff is out there?

[GRRRR8]

All I have really seen are all different coil-covers, radiator covers, MSD coils, different plug wires and I think thats it. I know if you relocate the coils you can do some nice valve covers, but space is limited on relocating them.

Yea, I've seen the coil relocation stuff. Very sweet but too pricey for just looks (believe they require different valve covers, total cost is close to a grand as I recall). Same for the MSD coils, I don't really think there would be much if any performance gain. They're very pretty but pricey. Now if I thought I could get a 10th or 2 plus pretty I might do it.

Don't want to go the cover route for the engine, worried about heat retention as always. The 2 piece Roto-fabs are nice though. I did decide to put one of Roto-Fab's radiator covers though after much thought.

Hopefully James will get some more billet filler caps and such available soon. Some of those and a few braided hoses might have to do.

I had some parts powdercoated on my last vehicle. I plan on putting some of the parts on the G8:

Well, the only problem is, I haven't gotten any of the G8 parts engraved ( G8 specific engravings that is).

If I bought ANY THING I don't want it engraved...

I know what it is and if someone wants to know I will tell them. I hope you offer everything both ways.

You can get a coil pack relocation kit and some shiny valve covers.

Here is another option. This is a FAST intake that my brother painted and put on his Camaro (my old SS).

From James? 99% sure he doesn't engrave the catch cans, just the various fluid caps and such.

Do it yourself! Had a little help from Billet Prototypes, love their caps.
