We are introducing a line of aluminum covers for the C5 and C6. The first C5 I was able to get my hands on has a Magnuson S/C. Like our other covers, these mount firmly using four mounting points. These are top quality aluminum covers with all mounts TIG welded to the main body. We will offer them chrome-plated, painted or bare. The chrome version would look awesome on a polished S/C! I will keep you updated on the progress.
I could use your opinions on the opening around the fuel block. In the pictured configuration, the fuel lines need disconnected to install/remove the left cover. I thought about a slot so the lines didn't need disconnected, but it looked like a large sacrifice in appearance. Which way is the best for the end user?
All comments are appreciated and taken seriously. Thanks for your time.

Looks clean, not up on the C5 emblem because it doesn't look aligned. Other than that very nice. :cheers:

Good eye! I "spray-bombed" the covers and JB welded the emblems for the purpose of taking photographs for the installation instructions! The emblems are once again decorating my shop wall and the covers will probably find a home somewhere on the pattern shelf! Thanks for taking the time to check them out and reply.:cheers:

I'll say those do look good. Makes me want to get a supercharger!

We will be developing covers very similar to these for the LS1 with a stock intake manifold. The covers will probably look similar to those pictured on my avitar or the set pictured here. They will be available with any of the finishes we offer for the rest of our covers, including chrome. Custom etching will be available as well. Thanks for the compliment:)
