Chopped up my rail covers, Looks good! So I was bored and had this idea for a while. Yes I have the coil covers and like them but the rail seems to get in the way of the look I want. So I had the Vette covers and yep I cut them up! The pas side looks GREAT, but the driver side needs a little work. I have to move the vent line and maybe groove the cover around the fuel line to get it to fit flush like the pas side.
Then I'll get the Corvette name removed for a smooth look.
Note I removed my PS pump since my res tank was leaking

Same here! Theres nothing left to em (Vette covers) LOL I really like the coil covers though and think if you were to get some nice fuel rails ,it would really set off your engine bay more .Nasy performance sales these nice silver coated ones that i ended up installing .Stop trying to hide those factory fuel rails my man and just change em out when you get some cash and time!it will look 100% better IMO but in the end,,,,its your ride .Do what you think looks best

the passenger side looks Great. the FRC almost flows right onto the coil cover. I like em!!! I'd have to cut around the fuel lines tho, on the driverside so the cover lays flat against the coil cover, IMO. but sweet idea!!!! good job

Specialized, is the quantity 1 for the pair or 1 for each side? I assume 1=pair. Let me know.
Yeah guys, I was iffy on them but that pas side just makes it worth it. Like I said, the driverside needs a little help.
This was done in like 15min. So to get the fit right it needs TLC.
As far as the rails, yeah I could go off and spend some coin on them but honestly, I don't see the need to spend the extra coin on rails that work fine with my 500whp. I may need bigger rails later for my other plans. I do seem to have created an old school black/polished look to it. I don't mind. In my book it needs to run strong before dressing it up. Trying to make it look like a dressed up 346 LS1, well until I start it.
