Lingenfelter has em and so does Callaway. The Lingenfelter ones can be had color matching and the Callaway ones you have to paint. They are both expensive 500.00 + smackers by the time the smoke clears. Far as I know they are the only ones that have em made to fit the Maggie. I bit the bullet and ordered the Lingenfelter ones in A/O.

I have the LPE covers also.........You might try a search, I saw a post last year where someone cut the top 1/3 off with a bandsaw (he said it was easy....looked good). I know the LPE and Callaways are high, but they sure look nice. Good luck.

Here are pictures of the Callaway covers for 2005-2007 Corvettes with Magnachargers. They're molded from fiberglass, not cut-down stock covers.

They have steel mounting brackets bonded to the back side and come with OEM grommets and extra coil bracket standoffs for OEM-like installation.

Part No. 210.60.3048
Sugg. Retail Price: $480.
They're available at Callaway Authorized Dealers, or on Callaway's Online Store.

The Callaway decals come only on Callaway Corvettes and C16's.

Thanks for the link. I just completed cutting them like Marct6444 did and they pretty good for a cut down piece. Now I can wait a bit before buying the Callaway covers (expensive). I am so inspired now I may just clean these up a bit more, give them a shot of Millennium Yellow and see how they look. Sounds like a next weekend project. [/font]

Tips for others who may be in the same boat[/font]
1) be aggressive and do not be afraid to cut allot off. I ran the cut line at the bottom of the corvette embossed section taking off at least 1/3. They now just say LS2. Band saw would work best; I used a coping saw and did it by hand. Cleaned up with a Dremel tool. [/font]
2) The hole for the stainless line needs to be expanded as the line shifts back to the rear. Just follow the current line down to make a larger square opening. [/font]
3) You need to cut some off the front to fit it past the power steering tank. About 1 1/2 inches does the trick[/font]
4) On the front of the driver’s side you must trim a little to clear the cables. Just cut the corner down about an inch. [/font]
5) it is held on only but the two mounts now but it seems very solid. [/font]

I still need to clean mine up but I am going to wait until they come off again for paint. Thanks for all of the help on the forum. If I could figure out how to post a picture I would.
