But for me, I'll be using MSD coils, so I'd just need the top plate made in carbon fiber without the window for the ICM..

Couldn't you use one from a different engine (like the LSJ, LNF, or 2.4) with the individual coils.

I've looked at those. The pattern for the bolts holding it in place is different than the L61. I'm sure you could just drill new holes, but then you'd have to either cover or fill the old ones. Besides, I like that little recessed window for the "Ecotec 2.2" sticker....I made one that says "Ecotec 2.2 Turbo" to take it's place

That stuf would be sexy on the B-Pillars and behind the front emblems. I have some under my front emblem and ive gotten mroe complements on that and my headlights more than anything else.

Gr1m · 12-27-2007, 11:26 AM

Nope. Actually I think it's a pic from Mantapart. Just found it looking for an overall pic of the engine on Yahoo. Don't worry, when mine is in the car, it'll be so clean it'll look brand new.

that looks pretty nice I have never been fan of the ribs it looks like 1985 all over again since the 2.3 Quad 4 used the exact same pattern on it.

who would've thought they'd keep the same style, it's as if they're almost the same motor.

You have Hertz and you have not exactly, this isn't Hertz.

I have no idea whatsoever what the previous post says o_O

Anyways, I obtained an 11x16 piece of carbon fiber

:

After painting the IDI cover black and mounting the CF to it, it appears one sprays several coats of clear gloss Krylon to shine er up. Can't wait to play with all this stuff.

Psshh.. I haven't repainted it yet though.. I screwed up and the CF didn't cover the first rib (going to paint that rib black) and repaint where the lettering is with more than one coat. It looks like shit right now, it's cracking lol:
