Default Anyone relocate their ignition coils?

I'm in the middle of a project in which I'll need valve cover spacers to clear my shaft mounted rockers. Has anyone relocated their ignition coils, whether it was for looks or for my reason? If so, do you have any pics? And, what spark plug wires are you running? I know there's a coil relocating kit available through Thunder Racing but, it seems it was designed for f-bodies only. Any help or suggestion are greatly appreciated, thanks.

I think this would really clean up the engine bay along with a LS6 intake and some billet valve covers(or fabbed). I was looking the other day for good places to put them.

Let us know how the relocations goes.
