I never liked that fact that my carbon fiber FRC's didn't actually attach to the fuel rail, so I sold those & made these.





Once I filled in the Corvette lettering, I used a build-up primer that could be wet sanded to a smooth to cover the matte finish surface that the covers are made with. I'm pretty happy with the way they came out considering it was just a rattle can job.

Let me know what you think.

Yeah. I didn't want to have cut the covers up much & I've got a buddy that turned that feature off for me. I couldn't believe how much crap that got rid of out of the engine bay.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Quick question...and Ive searched and read other threads, but I wanted to see what you did...

What did you use to fill in the lettering? Did you have to sand the letters out? Or did you just fill right over everything. How about if the covers twist...will the fill crack? Im assuming you used some sort of filler that is meant for plastic...but just curious what you used. Thanks!

Hopefully he sanded or dremeled out the red lettering that is on there or it will end up cracking and popping out. When I do mine, I go the extra step of using a dremel bit to "dig" all the lettering out which creates a rough texture inside the recesses and allows the filler to bite into the plastic.

Bryan is right on. I just used body filler with a flex agent to fill the letters after that. I twisted the covers back & fourth in every direction before primering them to make sure it wouldn't crack & had no problems. I also put a layer of heat tape on the back sides of the covers to keep that area from getting too hot, just incase.

I'll try to snap an installed pic tonight & post it up.

You know when I started I thought that if I got a good responce, I might do a few sets, but when it was all said & done I had quite a bit of time into it & just would be able to get them out to people in a timely manner or really make enough $$ to make it worth while. I'm sure someone with the right tools & skills could do them really quick, but I'm just not the guy for it.

Thanks again for the comments guys!
Here are some installed pics I just snapped. They're not the best quality, but I've just got a cheapo camera.







I'm a little disappointed how much of the lettering is covered up by the STB, but my old one rubbed before, so I had to change styles.

Now I need to paint my intake!! Damn that thing looks dull now.
