Default C5 fuel rail covers on my TA

Here is a few dirty pics right after i used my dremel to trim up the covers to fit. Should I make the cuts on the driver side for the fuel hoses or lines to come through or leave it the way it is?

after

Wow you still have the stock airlid? Get ridda that thing!

Covers look nice, if you're fine with removing them to get to things and they fit fine, no reason to cut them more. Looks a lot cleaner if you don't.

Lookin good, i need to get me some of those.

Precuts for $180.00 WHERE?? I do them for $85 shipped. The ones for $180.00 + are not only for precut covers but the "CORVETTE" is filled in, that pebble like textured is smoothed and the covers are color matched painted with automotive urethane to match you car and clearcoated. Also includes vinyl lettering like "CAMARO" or "TransAm" or the like. Much more included for that money than just cuts.

If you already have the LS6 i wouldn't bother with it. An LS1-LS6 upgrade is definetly worth it, but beyond that it's not going to do much, unless you go FI or replace the heads.
