Default Modded The V With FRC's

Well I seriously haven't modded my V for the last year or so. I think the last modification I made was Hawk brake pads and fluid. So I thought I was time to tidy up the engine compartment.

So I looked on Ebay and all of the prices for fuel rail covers are pretty outrageous. I did a search on google and I bought the FRC's from Summit Racing for $48 a side. They were shipped to my door in one day.

I followed a thread on the CadillacForums and modded mine to fit. The only difference I made, is on the drivers side nearest the fuel line, I drilled a small hole in the snap ring on the FRC and fed a tie wrap around the fuel rail and attached it. This way I didn't have to cut too much of the back of the FRC.

I am happy with the results. And yes I know, I need to clean my engine compartment a bit.

I've got a set of black ones for sale just like that at cadillacforums if anyone wants em

I'll do $80 shipped

PS: Kurlee Daddee - Those look great! Good job. I was afraid to cut my Red ones at first but it wasn't that bad and looks 10x better than the stock trash can lid.

someone needs to take some armorall to there plastics in the engine bay, will look like a new motor. wipe the manifold, fuse box, intake tube, FRCs and all and it works great.

My black FRC's are gone. Sorry Adanieljohnson1.

Although, i'll have a set of RED FRC's up for sale shortly and they're already cut to fit the V.

I'll be asking $100 shipped. Brand new ones cost about $100 + shipping + you having to trim them.

Thanks for hijacking my thread

I bought my FRC's for $41.88 per side at Summit. It was $93 shipped to my door in one day.
