Default Holley Coil Covers (Big Block Chevy style) Fit on F-BODY?

I am not sure if anyone has already posted this, but I just saw that Holley now makes a coil cover or as commonly referred to as fuel rail covers. It is supposed to give the appearance of a big block chevy valve cover. They are made from composite and fasten to the coil brackets. I like them and would like to install them on my 98 LS1 Camaro. I am unsure if it will fit? Has anyone installed these or seen them on an F-body? I wouldn't mind if I had to cut them to get them to fit.
They go for about $160
Here is a link to them on Holley's website
http://www.holley.com/242-1.asp

Here are some pics of them.

seems like that thread has been deleted, i can't find it anywhere. To clear things up, they WILL fit an f-body, but WILL NOT fit LS1 coil packs/brackets.
If you really want the holly covers your going to have to get LS2/3/7 coil packs and brackets, and im not sure if those bolt to LS1 valve covers, so you might need those too.

here are LS3 coil packs (the LS7 and LS3 coil packs use the same coil pack bracket)

and here are LS1 coil packs

notice how the LS1 coil packs are lower and almost dead center on the valve cover compare to the LS7/3 coils pack.
