  • Plastic Engine cover, should i do it?

    i dont really have anything to do, and this would give me something to DO.

    ya think the plastic engine cover off of grand prix would look ok.

    i would plan on sanding it down, painting it, maybe putting a firebird emblem or lettering on it.

    i know the gp engine sits diff, so there might need to be some cutting of the plastic to get it to fit, but do yall think it would look good?

      if you get it to fit, that would be cool. i have always been a fan of engine covers. i like the cleaness of it.

        it wont fit, totally different design, the gp one is held on by a clip in the back and the oil filler in front...it would look lobsided if you did get it on there

            just my opinion but i dont like anything covering up the engine especially plastic....looks kinda tacky id much rather see the actual engine
            and whenever u wanna work on something you have to move that thing out of the way

                Well this might save you alittle bit of time if you can get you hands on parts to a Holden. I know this doesn't help much, but it will give you some ideas.

                There is an option for the 3.4 people from Holden
                I think it might for for them.



                As for the 3.8, they do have a cover too, but the problem is that the air intake is on the right, Which our coil packs are in the same place. And the Radiator hose is in they way too.



                Also the supercharged holden looks like a better fit. Ill try to find a pic.
