2004 how to redress our engines to look older

[BLUDICE]

I see these car shows like Kindigit that often times they will modify the exterior of the engine from an LS3 to look like a 427 by putting on regular valve covers etc - is this being done with our engines by anyone- are there any pictures?

I love the detailing, but I am wondering where the shock tower brace came from??

Our cars come with a brace from the factory but is hidden under the cowl.

Thanks for the response. Is the brace available to purchase??

Very familiar with stock brace. It and the cowl have to come out to get the expansion tank (aka degas bottle) out. Aftermarket brace looks pretty good. Must be a kit?

Maybe 18 years ago, definitely not now. They would be lucky to sell 2 a year, especially since the car already has one.
