Corvette Valve cover..cover on an f-body? Well? anyone done that?
I think it would look pretty good having some of those Corvette fuel rail/valvecover cover's under my hood. I think I may have heard that there's a bit of trimming required, anyone know how much and where? Thanks!

hmm. Apparently.
I took a look at the ones from that site...
Frankly I'd almost rather buy some cheap vette covers and make my own custom ones.
And I also searched a funk load of times with no results..

Right.
Anyone else out there ever succesfully mated Corvette "FRC's" to an f-body without spending $250? I've compared images of vette frc's and these custom fit fbody fuel rail covers. Don't look to bad.

Oh, now I get it.
I searched thru 3 pages of the thread, yet there is one photo of the Corvette fuel rail covers installed to prove the point that they can be! Now I understand. It was simply meant to prove that it can be done.
Yes, there's a ton of info on the website here. Simply search fuel rail covers or frc's as mentioned earlier.

Thanks for the P.M and Thanks to everone else for the tips.
I apologize if this is another one of those revisited x's 934823095 subjects - I searched and found nothing. Apparently I was searching for the wrong thing though.
I just purchased some new FRC's via Ebay for $83 shipped so I think I may try to just tackle it on my own. I may take up the template offer though.
