Cutting fuel rail covers

Do you still have your air pump, and smog equipment? The reason I ask is because 98-00 cars had the A.I.R. tubes on the manifolds and if you have smog headers, you would have to trim the covers differently. I removed this during my header swap, and I had to trim for the place for the tbody cables, cable bracket on intake, dipstick, and the second fuel line. When you cut for the second fuel line, you need to get a piece of paper first, and put it behind the cover, and take a pen and trace the cut for the fuel line on the paper, cut it out, and outline it onto the cover where you want it. Just put the cover on the car and look at it for about 5 minutes so you'll know where to cut everything. I'll put up a few pics of mine.

Use the "search" function up there on the right, ..., Search "Fuel Rail Covers". There's a ton of info on the boards.
PM sent also, ...
Thanks to Chief for the special mention,

I'm working on my fuel rail covers right now. They are almost done too. It is a pain to take them on and off but the pass. side is the hardest one. The driver side was easy to cut. I bought mine with both fuel lines in them so I didn't have to cut that part. I'm almost finished but I still have to decide on a few details for the finishing touch
