Looking to hide coil packs by mounting under guards or attaching to the block under the pipes if room allows for it. Anyone done something similar in a lx. Any advice appreciated. Cheers

Thats what i thought lol. Good idea but bot willing to pay that much to cover the coils. I think moving them would be a cheaper option.

They do look great but cant justify spending that on covers. Thanks anyway

But to answer your question, along the skirt would be best.

I think it's holley that make a "valve cover" out of a plastic, goes over the original set up, resembles big block chev valve cover, can paint any colour. Leads need aluminum heat shields left on & obviously keep the coils as cool as possible. Harrop make nice 1's to but about $800, a few ideas on the net if you really search.

The A9XII from Mark's Workshop was neat, kinda two birds with the one stone covering the K-member holes, but not exactly "hidden"...
