Default Fuel rail cover fitment.

I am just wondering if fuel rail covers from a 1999 corvette will fit my ls1 Camaro without modifying?

All of the Corvette covers need to be modified to fit the F-bodies. It's not hard to do. Some cut more than others.

NO you do NOT need to cut them.. they fit just fine.. I did mine and my buddys car.. mine needed clearancing for the throttle bracket but his was just the single cable so I cut down the linkage bracket on his.. they do require drilling a hold for the dipstick tube but nothing else...

Ok thanks a lot guys. A buddy of mine just bought a c5 so I am going to test fit his and see what needs to be trimmed if anything before I buy them from someplace.

They don't have to be hacked up, but they do need some "modifications"

^ Exactly. I trimmed mine for the bracket as well. All you need is a little time and a dremmel and you can get them to fit quite easily.

You can just bend the dipstick tube a small amount to the outside of the car to fit. (but just a small bit)
