Default Point me towards Corvette Fuel Rail Covers for LS1?!

I'm not having the Best of luck finding some FRC's for my car. I'd like the Red LS6 ones to go with the white car. Anyone know where to find them pre-fab'd for F-bodies or how to do the necessary modifications?

Any links/insight would be appreciated.

Do a serch for FRC's and some tech tips should come up. You have to modify them to fit. Some cut a little, some more. Got mine from Bryan (parbreak) years ago already cut, filled and painted. He does them for Afterthoughts or used to. It was worth it to me to open the box and install them ready to go.
Just saw where Afterthoughts is not accepting new orders. Bryan was thinking about selling that part of his business, not sure where he is at on that.

$100 for a part you can get from a GM parts place direct for $28/ea.?! Seems pretty high to me.

Used for $25 maybe, ..., Hard to find a pair for less than $60+. Pre-cut can be bought on Ebay also.

The red Z06 covers are not really a good starting point. They only have the single slot. The 97-98 covers with two slots are a better starting point.

PM coming with details on another source.
