I don't have any spare coilpack brackets... check the for sale section on corvetteforum and/or ls1tech.
EDIT - Be baller and hide the coils and run custom wires for a clean look.

What wires can I run? I would LOVE to hide the coils I fucking hate them.
Eh....I just looked up some stuff and I'm not OK with paying 388 bucks to relocate the coil packs. I'd rather spend 80-100 on the fuel rail covers and just cover them up, LOL.

Yes, Raz has been a huge help!
Not too huge of an update, but I wrapped my headers (I did it two different days and haven't taken pictures of them completed yet). I know it'll reduce engine bay temperatures, and I love the way it looks.
I'll get the completed photos tomorrow or the next day when I go work on the car more.
I also got my Corvette FPR/Fuel Filter together with the fittings to let it plug right into the stock rubber lines at the fuel tank and a -6AN fitting to run a braided line up to the fuel rail (LS1s only have a single fuel line, the FPR and Fuel Filter is an all in one unit that bleeds off fuel right there!).
Andrew helped me take all 136 bolts out of my other set of RSs...I only got the lip off of one wheel, I have to throw the rest in the oven and break them down so I can clean them up and get the faces machined to fit my car.
Stock 17X7 +45 with 1/2 inch lip -
Lip removed -
17X11 +12 with 4.5" lip!
Thats it for now. I am working on wiring and getting my suspension buttoned up this week. There is a drift event on the 3rd of July...so I will ideally have my car running and tuned by then, hahaha, which probably will not happen.
