Where to find cheapest vette fuel rail covers? Hey guys, I really don't feel like spending 100 bucks on fuel rail covers. Just spent 700 on GMMG so im a litte broke for a little bit. Just wondering if you guys know of any better deals. Thanks.

gm dealership, i got my pair for 65$ new, they were the black ones, GM parts direct may seem cheaper but they rape you on the shipping, and you dont have to pay shipping through the dealership

I bought my car with the FRCs already installed, they came with a Camaro SS emblem over the Corvette text. I thought that was pretty cool.

YOu can buy them from GMPartsDirect for pretty cheap but you're going to pay out the "***" for shipping. That's how they make their money. I get them for less per set, but I have an inside source
By the way, Afterthoughts Auto's price is not insane. If you had ANY clue how much work is involved in converting those stock Vette covers with their pebble like finish to a color matched custom set with a glass like finish, you might appreciate the price a little better. Some people might think paying $800-1000 dollars for a set of stainless headers is insane when you can get headers for $300-500. It's all in what you want. Do you want the best on your car or are you willing to settle for less??? Guess it also depends on your financial situation.
