My new FRC's...*updated*
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.

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!

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.

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.
