Default gauging interest coil covers

i made a prototype set and talked to a sheet metal shop about making some more sets. i made these because i was worried about the coils gettig hot due to down pipe routing. they look great and are made out of stainless. i could do aluminum or steel powdercoated also. i like them better than the plastic covers and you could also custom paint them.

Looks fine on your transplant, but you might wanna test fit into an actual F-Body before you commit.
There might be a cause for some rework to actually fit into place with the F-Body application.

i am going to test fit mine on a c5 this weekend i will have to see if i can get someone with an f-body to try them out. i know that there will need to be a hole for the stock fuel line. but if you have aftermarket rails you could re-route the fuel line

I would say definitely do a test fit on an F body. If you could offer them in a high polish that would be a nice touch, and bare for people who want to paint them.

Looks sweet but I doubt it'll fit into an F-body that still has AIR/EGR and stock fuel lines/rails. Corvette covers have at least one hole for fuel lines to connect to the stock rails, but this one was made without holes due to the aftermarket rails...
Unless they fit under the covers!

Despite that, there is a market.
