Fuel rail covers are what they're called. Someone probably makes some camaro ones I would imagine just look around.

You could get the "DIY" ones from afterthought for.. $90 i think they were? Then just fill in the letters, prep for paint and your done. Add whatever decals and stuff that you'd like to.

If it sounds intimidating jump over to the paint & body work section, they'll walk you through it!

I put factory ones on my 99 ws6, just move some harnesses around and they fit, no cutting required like a lot of them. They say Corvette but I think it looks cool. Might fill them in one day but for now, I like them.

^ But technically the motor IS, so youre not fakin' the funk. Now, if I put LS7 covers on and left "LS7" on the them, then that would be some bullshit. I have no problem with them and the color is nice so, why the hell not? But its up to you, youre going to pay way more than you should if you get the custom ones from someone else. Its still gonna cost you around 150 or so unless you can mold plastic yourself...(hmmm, I have a vacuum mold machine, maybe I could make some....)

yeah man i started with a set of covers that was already cut. and then did all the work myself. this was my first time doing this type of work and it was easier then it looks. this is the link i went by.

don't forget heat tape, it will take rolls to cover both completely
