Agreed I like the ls3 best

But I think a murci cover like murci me has would be even better

I like the LS-3 Camaro cover.  Nice.

LS4 engine covers
« Reply #1 on: April 20, 2013, 07:15:12 PM »
My LS4 swap is now complete, just got to go to the dyno for final tuning. I will be changing exhaust (too loud) and adding digital gauge dash in the center console via a Android. Its controlled by my Microsquirt / TunerStudio / ShadowDash, here is a
sample of what its like:
Shadow Dash Ms Introduction


Anyway there is no way my Diablo replica engine covers are going to fit and the LS4 isnt the best looking motors to begin with so Im try to come up with some kind of engine cover. Right now I have a few different choices, although Im open to other ideas/suggestions.

First up is just using the center section of the Diablo replica cover in pic 1. It provides the least overall coverage of the engine but it it visable through the deck lid vent, so it looks best with the hood closed. Please note that center piece is only spray painted silver right now, I just wanted to see what it will look like. It will be restored and sprayed with the same paint/gun as my car was.
 Or pic 2 a factory LS3 2012 Camaro engine cover, it is what it is~
Pic3 The factory LS4 engine cover, nothing too exciting...
Pic4 is I think off a Kia Sorento or something, my idea was to cut out the center section and mold it to the Diablo center cover kinda like in pic 5.

What would you use?
