In reading through this whole thread it looks like a lot of high school kids on here
For one the so called beauty covers have been on Corvettes for many years, long before the so called fad by the riceballs and others.
1. The reason vettes have had them is for those who buy a sports car but use it like a doll and dress it up for car shows along with a bunch of other junk plastered in the engine bay.
2. due to valvetrain and injector noise covers reduce the noise just a bit.
Where its really stupid and does not belong in a real sports car
1. traps heat and not allowing airflow over injectors, fuel rails, fuel lines, fuel inside all of them and the 8 coils.
2. causes hotter fuel into the cylinders
3. causes more resistance to coils and injectors due to that heat
4. when engine is turned off the heat in engine bay is increased, heat soaks, fuel left in injectors then cooks and leaves deposits.
Reason the covers on the Covette pop off in just a minute so if the wazers love the shiny crap they can have it but real men knowing what effects heat have on performance pitch them in the junk pile and those having the hots for pretty things need to stick with playing with dolls.
