These 2 piece Holden 6.0 Covers require the following in order to fit the Pontiac G8-GT :
a) You need to trim the passenger side cover to clear the heater hoses....unless you have done the Heater Hose Relocation mod.
b) You need to remove and discard the beauty/noise cover from on top of your LS3 intake manifold.
c) You need to purchase 4x threaded studs #11609319.
Greg@Pace sells these studs way cheaper than I can.

These 2 piece covers are Holden OEM fitted on the VZ 2005-2006 6 litre cars.
Those cars did not have the heater hoses in the same place as G8-GT and had the earlier L76 intake with no beauty cover. Hence the reason for the mods required.

or
Trimming the Passenger Side Engine Cover to clear the stock heater hoses is necessary.
Before Trimming (front)
After Trimming (front). These are the trimming tools.
This owner has also highlighted the logo using Duco touchup paint and a fine modelling brush.

You need 4 x these threaded studs:
They screw in here, 2 into each valve cover, to firmly locate and support the bottom of each cover.
The covers also clip onto your stock fuel rails at the top.

If you ever lose or need to replace the rubber cups from underneath each valve cover (2 per side).

They're also used on 05 and 06 Pontiac GTO's
Are these back in stock?
Unbelievably no.Originally Posted by r1owner
Holden apparently did a production run last Friday but these are yet to hit the shelves in Aust. I haven't been able to buy any since 14th Feb.
5 sets that I sent by sea in mid Feb have only just arrived to fulfil existing paid up USA orders. There are none of these left now.
I'll let you know here when I get my hands on more stock.
I have a set I'll sell for $300. with posts!!!!!

Actually, mine are "in the mail!"
NFS- But will post pix when I get them on!!!

Probably a Holden radiator cover with some home made renovations added.
The piece with the Caution sticker on it was added to better blend with the aftermarket long radius intake air coupling.
