Default WTB FRCs Fuel Rail Covers

Hey everyone, I posted here cause you guys know best! Where could I get a good pair of fuel rail covers that fit right in without having to use a dremel or something? I don't have any tools to trim or cut them on my own, just wondering if there's someone who does this. if not i'll take any info.
Thanks!!

Would that fuel rail cover work? Or do I need one with two slits in it? I only have one thing going over my intake.

Does anything need to be done first to be able to fit FRCs? There seems to be a hell of a lot of stuff to the sides of the intake.. Like the translock tube for example.

What car do you have and what motor is in it? Your name is 98 WS6 but your avatar is a 3rd gen Camaro so I don't know what you have. The Z06 FRCs you have pictured definitely will not work for an F-body without cutting.

Drivers sideIf you do the evap mod you only need one slit. but if you don't you will need to slits. If you have your air system still in there you will need to cut the drivers side for that too. As for my drivers side cover i didn't need to cut anything, because i deleted my air and egr systems.Passenger side For the passenger side tho you will need to cut for the throttle cable, dipstick and also may need to cut the back. cuz of the big wire loom that goes back there. Here are pics of mine after i cut them for- the dipstick, throttle cable, and the big wire loom.

Here they are installed before i painted them.

Thanks everyone. I have a 99 WS6 now, engine is pretty modified bolt ons and internally. I have to look at the motor to see what's been done, because some of the mods were done to the car before I got it. I'm not sure what the AIR system is and whether or not the EVAP is still in there. If I knew what to look for i'd be able to tell.

From the what i can tell in this picture (one of your pics form another thread) someone must of got rid of you Air system so you shouldn't need to worry about that. and your evap system is still there where it suppose to be. so you will need the covers with 2 slits on the drivers side like mine. also he is a site that will help you install them if you do get them. http://www.thecheckeredflagstore.com/frcs_install.php

it looks like they will work but ya they did cut a little much out. I don't know y he cut so much out of the back side of the passenger cover, but ya its nice the corvette letters are filled in and its primed already. Now all you need to do it shoot the paint on and put some trans am door emblems on there.

no, actually the cuts that are made are for a 02 with AIR system. That cut in the back fit nicely around the valve on the back of the driver side head

What about the Transmission fluid dip stick? I didn't even see one on that checkeredflag site. Does the passenger FRC fit under it, or does it require a cut to be made? FRCs is one of my future mods, so I've been looking for more and more info on em. Thanks.
