Default Looking for Vette FR covers..

I saw them on Fast Toys site and the plain ones look cool but I am after the black, Vette-style types with the red 'Corvette' letters. DO THEY SELL THESE ALREADY CUT FOR F-BODIES?
Thanks for the info/links <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I've never seen a set precut for the f-body.

12556455 and 12559261 are the black ones that have the two fuel slots. They still need the back ends cut to fit though. Not too hard to do, just a little trying on the patience.

These are the ones you want. They are slotted for two fuel lines. You got the later ones.

P/N 12559261 (97-98) LH Fuel Rail Cover
P/N 12556455 (97-98) RH Fuel Rail Cover

VIP,
..just double checking--the PN's you gave for the 97-98 Vette FR covers WILL fit the F-Body LS1? I've got an '01/SS. Would you happen to remember the price?
By chance, do you also have a pic them? Thanks for the info! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Just order the FRC's from SDPC. I think they were $25 per cover. Should be a fun mod...

Black FRC's with red lettering will look cool with my rally red Z28. I'm not too happy about them saying Corvette on them though. I may mod them.

Thanks 01SS #1483 for filling in with the price. GMPartsDirect is where I would have quoted the price from also. Some people (including Camaro_LS1) said they saw them for $25 elsewhere. The dealership will ask more like $36 each, basically 100% markup (double the price).

here's my order from gmpartsdirect.com

1 12556455 COVER $18.39
1 12559261 COVER $18.39

plus shipping. I ordered in January and installed already. You do have to cut the back side (up under dash0 and widen one fuel line - also around throttle cable a bit. Easy with a dremel
