Anyone know where I can get some engine bling bling?
I'd like to replace engine covers, batter cover, fuse box cover, radiator shroud, etc... Not all with Carbon Fiber but i'd like to see the option and I have searched like crazy with no results. Everything is for V2.
I have the GM Carbon Fiber Engine Cover for LS6.
It is very nice CF.
I was going to put it on the classifieds, since it wont fit my current engine.
Let me know if interested.
if you have the LS2 engine you can get a carbon fiber cover ... the LS6 engine does have accessory engine covers but they don't say 'carbon fiber' like the one for the LS2 does so I can't confirm that they are carbon fiber or not
the part number for the LS2 engine cover is
#19155401
$999.00 - list price
$839.16 - forum discount price
FYI, GM sells a carbon fiber engine cover, radiator cover, and strut tower brace for the V1. Some people have bought them on like "clearance" for surprisingly cheap (compared to list).
yeah in post #9 i listed the part number and prices (for the LS2 cover... the parts catalog doesn't specifically say carbon fiber for any of the LS6)
i looked for that ... at least on the dealer locator - not a single dealer nationwide has that LS2 engine cover in stock (so no discounts available there)
I'm not a fan of the engine cover, but I do have the STB and the radiator cover. I think they look pretty cool.
If you search Ebay for CF bits by engine model (vice car model) you can find stuff for the LS motors. I just might have to splurge on some Carbon Composites CF rocker covers for the new engine. Obviously I would ditch the red FRCs if I do that - no point buying pimpy CF bits if you then cover them up with plain old red plastic!
Thanks for the picture, it's hard to find actual pictures of what the parts look like. The STB is cool except it's so close to the motor. I like the room afforded by the LS2 brace. The radiator cover is nice too, though it seems a tad lonely with all the plastic around it.
My CF Engine Cover got replaced with CF Valve Covers and a Coil Relocation Kit.
The engine covers main purpose is to suppress injector and valvetrain noise.
Thats why it has all that foam underneath it.
The trade off is not seeing the "pretty" intake manifold.
matt @ oCarbon (vendor here) does good real carbon wrapping... he's working on a few V2s for members now i think... the first one he did had a ton of pictures posted here
Agenda has changed and now the only thing that will fit is the radiator shroud. I would still love to have that piece. Maybe Luke at Lindsay could scrounge this up?
Hey man, good find and thanks for posting it, I am actually interested in just a CF Rad Cover (I loves to see my intake).... I'll ebay scope and hope for the best!
This is a thread lookin for a CF engine cover, why would i mention in here i have one that i dont want to sell. Fair, i didnt go into details, but it goes back to a no one is payin attention.
If it caught someones eye and they really wanted it they would have made every effort to contact me and inquire if i would like to sell it, but no one did.
