Corvette Engine Covers?

[Smokey-01-WS6]

Did engine covers come standard on corvettes? If so what years did they have them with the LS1?

[FantaZGuy28]

Yes they came standard on the vettes. They came on 97-04 cars.

[Smokey-01-WS6]

thank you

[Sarge]

I have some GTO covers if anybody wants em.

[Mr. Luos]

I have an F-Body.
Not a Corvette.
Or a GTO.

[Mr. Luos]

Covers look good.
Having them say Corvette on there doesn't.

[Mr. Luos]

Oh come on....

If it isn't in the Corvette, it isn't the Corvette's motor.
The LS1 might be the same, but it isn't in a Corvette.

Just an opinion. Not like I am going to dislike a car because of that or something. Just wouldn't do it myself is all.

[Smokey-01-WS6]

they wont say corvette when im done with them!

[FantaZGuy28]

I dont mind them saying Corvette because people who dont know engines always say to me...wow that thing has a Corvette motor in it.

LoL, that's why I left my FRCs alone

It's amazing how many people have no clue.. At car shows I will be near my car and hear someone say, now if that Camaro had a Corvette motor in it, it would really move. I always have to say they are the same motor and they look at me like I am stupid. I tried to make some of those covers out of a pair of vette ones, but I cut them up and decided to not use them. Seen some places now that make custom ones(not redone vette covers). Also JEGS has a Billet cover that goes on in seconds and is made for the F body, never seen it on a car though.

[Selah]

Would GTO or LS2 covers even fit under the cowl on fbodies? I think they look a whole lot better than corvette FRC's, but have never seen them on anything.
