Hey guys, was just wondering where I can get the Trans Am fuel rail covers. Have seen a few people with them on their cars and they look AMAZING. I dont want to buy the corvette ones cause well, my car isnt a corvette, lol, ideas? Thanks for any input!

There are some sellers that modify stock corvette rails and make them custom.

Default fuel rail covers

Check out the link below. They customize corvette covers by filling in the word corvette and adding any paint and lettering scheme you want. I've been thinking of getting some for my 02 ss.

They all start out as Corvette covers. Unless you want to fab some, thats the cheapest place to start. After that, your imagination is the only limit. I had mine done years ago and they still look good.

I didn't do the work, but yes they are Corvette covers that were filled, cut and painted. They were done originally by the guy that did them for Afterthoughts. Not sure if he still does. After a few years, I had then repainted and flamed by a member here. I don't thnk he is around anymore?? Just get some Corvette covers and cut them to fit. Once your satisfied with the fit, have them filled and painted. Alot of guys on here have done their own. It's not hard just takes some time. I don't have the painting skills or the time, so I found someone that did. The sky is the limit on the paint, graghics, etc. Do a search for FRC's or fuel rail covers on here or the net and see if something catches your eye.
