LS1 Dress Up

[meissen]

Agree with popping the hood, I hate it when all I get are pics of people's car with the hood opened. Totally ruins the picture. I've actually asked people to close their hoods so I can get a decent pic of the car.

i agree with open and closed dont matter. Some show some go but not all show please. Nobody want to see a cavalier that runs 18's with rims, tv's, body kit, stickers etc. Cause then all i think is who cares its still a cavalier. Now if there is a blower or turbo on there then ill take a peak maybe.

its a pic of the coil pack/ valve covers. i guess they cost around 200 bills.

its kinda pricy when you figure in the price of FRC's or even a nice set of painted valve covers but just wanted to add to the topic of DRESS UP OF A LS1

I like to see whats under the hood. As someone earlier said, we all know what these cars look like with the hoods closed... at shows, show off whats under the hood that rarely gets shown. I myself am big on underhood appearance and have some cool stuff about finished ATM to show at the M&G for underhood appearance. I'm with Larry, GO and SHOW!

wow those LS1 fake valve cover things are pretty ugly IMO.

Fourth gens just seem to be all the same... LS1 LS1 LS1 LS1 LS1 yada.. some are clean and they stand out (like Greg's car) but to me, a thirdgen has more persona under the hood. You can find almost any kinda mill under a thirdgen bonnet, not just your run of the mill LS1.

Cuz stock 3rd gen motors sucked so everyone ripped them out and replaced them with something that actually made power. No reason to replace an LS1 since it already kicks ass and puts out well over 300HP in stock form!

That's why I'd rather look at a bunch of custom thirdgens, more variety.

Regardless, IMO the best LS1 "dressup" mods are the clear lid, cool/nicely done nitrous setups and painted intakes

[Superman09]

even if all 4th gens (98-02) have the LS1s. its interesting to see how people mod them to set their's apart! Dont hate....

[MattODoom]

And I think some people relocate the coils under the cowl and you can get cool looking valve covers, correct? I remember seeing one like that it was a nice change from the coilpack-ness

[Superman09]

Yea, relocating the coil-packs is nice but a pain to do. Nicely polished/painted valvecovers with painted coil packs looks pretty slick, or else some custom FRC's to hide all that!
