I finally finished a modified engine cover for my LS3. I think it came out pretty decent without being a crazy amount of work. It's a stock engine cover from the Camaro and I sanded off the Chevrolet script and filled the V8 script. I then primed it and sprayed it with Duplicolor bedliner. I had an artist off of Etsy (XyzbyXyz) custom make the Jaguar Emblems. I'm not sure how they were done since they don't appear to be 3D printed. The leaper was just off of Amazon and the screw heads were just these really wide head screws for particle board that I cut real short, heated up and then sunk them into the plastic.

 

Well done. Just wondering whats the thought process on making jag branded cover for a non jag engine.

 

When McLaren heavily massaged a BMW engine for what is considered one of the best cars of all time they still left BMW's name on it. No shame for this type of hybridization.

 

No logic, just preference. I love the LS engines for their performance, price and reliability. However, there is just something about the aesthetics of the LS intake runners that turns me off. I looked at a bunch of different covers and there were some nice ones but the price was obscene. This was a cheap easy cover but I didn't want Chevy branding all over it.

I'm certainly not the first to slap British branding on another company's engine cover.

 

Looks nice.
Are you somehow ashamed of the Chevy engine? I'm rather proud of mine even though it's Olde Tech.
Some might say there is a Copyright/Trademark question involved, especially in CA, but it's Your car.

Im waiting for someone to use a Coyote or AJV8 engine in a series3.

 

If there was time, it would be me.
I actually saw a Coyote recently, the thought still gives my heart flip flops.
