Search 'Fuel Rail Covers', ...

You'll find a ton of information.
And if you simply bought the GM covers from eBay & thought you'd slip them right in place, ..., you're mistaken.
Good Luck!

Fuel rail covers is what they are called. There were some how to articles posted a while back. Mine were cut around the throttle cable, dr. side fuel lines and the rear was cut to make the install eaiser. Once installed you can't see the rears that much.
